If you're looking to *download* such a database, I can't help you...I
don't think such a thing exists that is available to the public. 
Besides, even if you could get it, it would only be current for a few
days, since the rates and fees change so often

There are places where you can look-up such data, though, usually a city at a time.

For instance, the current info for 30-year, fixed, zero-point loans in
Mobile, Alabama looks like this:


LENDER......................RATE.........FEES 
		
		
EverBank.....................5.875	$1,363
		
Amerisave......................5.5	$6,523
		
Premier Lending Corporation...5.75	$2,813
		
Your Best Rate Financial.........6	$935
		
Mortgage Select..................6	$910
		
E-LOAN..........................6.5	$410
		
AIMLOAN.com.......................6	$1,495
		
Mortgage Capital Associates......5.5	$6,500
		
SurePoint Lending..................6	$2,011
		
VirtualBank.....................5.625	$7,438
		
Priceline Mortgage..............5.875	$990
		
Quicken Loans.....................6.5	$900
		
Hometown Lenders................6.125	$1,100
		
Liberty Financial Mortgage ......5.75	$695
		
Dove Capital Corporation..........5.5	$5,955
		
Absolute Mortgage Services..........6	$900


==========================


Is that the sort of thing you need?  If so, I'd be glad to show you
how to generate a similar list for any major city in the US.

I am looking to acquire the data behind the "FEES" information
provided in your example. My company develops loan origination
systems. We are interested in providing a feature like this. I realize
that the information would need to be refreshed periodically. These
are many sites that offer information like the example you posted so I
presume that the data must be available somewhere.
