If you have the ability to make a large principal payment and want to lower your monthly mortgage payment, recasting may be worth asking your lender about. A recast allows some homeowners to keep their existing loan and interest rate while the lender recalculates the payment based on the lower loan balance. This can be appealing if your current rate is lower than today's rates. However, recasting is typically only available on conventional, conforming loans, and FHA, VA, and USDA loans are generally not eligible. Refinancing is different because it replaces your current loan with a new one.

When most buyers think about purchasing a home, they immediately start looking at resale properties. But new construction deserves a closer look. Many new homes offer energy-efficient features, builder warranties, modern designs, and the opportunity to personalize finishes to fit your lifestyle.Builders may also offer incentives such as closing cost assistance, upgrades, or mortgage rate buydowns that can improve affordability and reduce out-of-pocket expenses.One important thing to know: the builder's sales representative works for the builder. Having your own agent can provide valuable guidance and representation throughout the process, but in most cases, you need to bring your agent with you before your first visit to the model home. Let's talk before you start shopping so you can explore all your options.
