What are peoples current mortgage interest rates in the US and when did they start?

I'm from the UK and looking to move the US sometime soon with a view to buy and currently on a 1.4% interest rate on my UK property secured about 12 months ago for the next 5 years (so a good time to do it).

But seeing much higher interest rates mentioned on here so curious to get a temperature check on people's current deals.

I refied two single family homes early
last year and got a 15 year at 2.125 (primary) and a 30 year at 3.5 (second home). I called my
Bank yesterday to get a quote for a jumbo loan and they quoted my 5.5 on a 30 year and and 4.8 on a 15.

2.75 on 30yr fixed, rate locked in Dec-21 - primary residence

800+ credit, 97% LTV, $575k loan, no points, no PMI (through credit union)

Yes - it was new construction, so there wasn’t a bidding process

Ah OK I see that in the US they are big on what I assume are full term rates which makes sense to then have higher %s to account for more fluctuations over the period of the mortgage.
In the UK the standard is to get a 2 or 5 year fixed rate and then switch come the end of that term each time.

Which part of US you are looking to invest? Or move? Is this for primary residence or investment property?
