Home Buying Tip: Don’t Shop by Rate Alone!

Yes, interest rates matter — but they’re only one piece of the puzzle when choosing a mortgage. To really get the best deal (and avoid surprises), be sure to ask your lender about these 4 other key factors:

🔍 1. Closing Costs
These are the upfront fees you pay to finalize the loan — typically 2% to 5% of the home’s purchase price.

👉 Ask: “Can you give me a breakdown of estimated closing costs?”

💡 Tip: Some lenders offer “no-closing-cost” options — but those usually mean higher interest rates.

🏦 2. PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance)
If your down payment is less than 20%, most lenders will require PMI — an extra monthly fee to protect the lender.

👉 Ask: “What’s the monthly PMI, and when can I remove it?”

🔄 3. Loan Types
Fixed-rate? Adjustable? FHA? VA? Each comes with pros, cons, and eligibility rules.

👉 Ask: “Which loan types do I qualify for — and which is the best fit for my goals?”

💡 Tip: A 30-year fixed isn’t your only option — a shorter term or ARM might save you thousands if you’re not staying long.

🕙 4. Rate Lock Periods
Interest rates can change daily — a “rate lock” protects you while your loan is processed (usually for 30–60 days).

👉 Ask: “How long is my rate locked for, and is there a fee to extend it?”

💡 Tip: Some lenders offer “float-down” options — letting you take advantage of a lower rate if the market drops before closing.
