HISTORIC LOW RATES

The current low mortgage rates are great news if you are looking to buy a new home. This summer and fall saw stiff competition for home sales. However, with fewer people considering a winter move, right now could be the perfect time for you to snag the home of your dreams.

IT'S A GREAT TIME TO BUY A HOME

The interest incredibly low, and right now is a great time to buy a home. If you've looked for the right home but haven't found a home that suits your exact needs, consider new construction. Although the cost of building a new home is currently high, your monthly payments would be lower with the current low-interest rate. The monthly payment difference between 3% and 4% can be $200 to $300 less per month depending on the loan amount. Those numbers add up! Investing in a new home now will help you lock in the low mortgage rate that will save you money for the entire life of the loan.

If you're not in the market to buy but want to take advantage of the low rates, consider refinancing your current mortgage. Refinancing can help you reduce your monthly mortgage payment, tap into the equity in your home, reduce the loan's length, or even get rid of mortgage insurance. Our RealtorsĀ® can help you connect with the right company to refinance your mortgage.
