Opportunity Knocks!

Think you've missed the boat on mortgage interest rates? With all the hype in the media about increasing interest rates last year, perhaps you put off buying that next home. If so, there's good news.

Over recent months, mortgage rates have been steadily decreasing.

Nationally, the average is back under the 8% mark, with some rates as low as 7.5%. If you waited to buy, your reward may be lower monthly payments.

How does the lower rate translate to monthly payments on the typical 30-year loan? For each $100,000 in mortgage amount at 8.5%, the monthly payments would be $768.91. During the 3rd quarter of 2000, 8.5% was the rate you would have paid. Borrow $100,000 today at the better 7.5% rate, and monthly payments would drop to $699.21.

So, why is it that just when we're hearing about high interest rates, you learn that it's a different story for home mortgages? Mortgage rates are based on "long-term" borrowing. The "prime" rate is based on the "short-term". When you hear that the "Fed" is raising rates, as we have for the past year, it is the short-term rates to which they are referring.

If you have put off buying a home, wait no longer. Take advantage of excellent rates now, and your home investment will pay great dividends.

Now is the right time to buy a home!
