Häufig gestellte Fragen

Is a lower rate always better?

Usually, but consider the full picture: points paid upfront, closing costs, and how long you'll keep the loan. A slightly higher rate with no points may be better if you plan to refinance.

How much does 1% rate change matter?

On a $250,000 30-year mortgage, 1% higher costs about $160/month more and ~$57,000 more in total interest over the loan term.
