Marquette County ranks high on best mortgage list

MARQUETTE, MI--   Marquette County is third on the list of top places to get a mortgage in Michigan.

That’s according to SmartAsset, a New York financial technology company that recently released its second annual study on the Best Places to Get a Mortgage.  The study determines the top markets by comparing the likelihood of mortgage approval by county, as well as mortgage rates, average five-year borrowing costs, and property taxes.

Marquette County comes in behind only Leelanau and Livingston counties on the best places list—up from a rank of 23 in 2015.
