Understanding Your Mortgage

How Interest Affects Your Payment

Your interest rate significantly impacts your monthly payment and total loan cost. Even a 0.5% difference can save or cost you tens of thousands over the loan term.

  • Shop around with multiple lenders
  • Improve your credit score before applying
  • Consider points to lower your rate
  • Lock your rate when market conditions are favorable

Small changes in your mortgage strategy can lead to significant savings over time.

  • Make extra principal payments
  • Choose bi-weekly payments instead of monthly
  • Refinance when rates drop significantly
  • Avoid PMI with 20% down payment
