First Mortgage Loans in Wellesley, MA

Wellesley's housing market is one of the most competitive in Massachusetts. With median home values among the highest in the state and steady demand driven by proximity to Boston, top-rated schools, and prestigious institutions, buying a home here takes preparation and the right financing partner. Whether you are purchasing your first home, moving up, or refinancing, the mortgage behind your purchase matters as much as the property itself.

Common Trust Federal Credit Union has served Massachusetts members since 1966, and our Wellesley branch is right here in the community, at One Hollis Street. When you work with us on a first mortgage, you are working with a local lender who understands this market, not a national servicer processing your application from another state.
