Will Buying Points Save You Money?
Should you buy points? Buying points when you close your mortgage can reduce its interest rate, which in turn reduces your monthly payment. But each "point" will cost you 1% of your mortgage balance. This calculator helps you determine if you should pay for points, or use the money to increase your down payment. Click on the "View Report" button to review your information.

Making An Offer >Buying Fast
Many buyers who find a house that looks perfect after house-hunting for only a couple of weekends hesitate to make an immediate commitment. They want to buy the house but are reluctant to make an offer without having looked at more properties.
Whether you are in a buyer's or seller's market, the best homes usually get snapped up quickly. When you find a great home that is well-priced, you may not have much time to think it over. Although it is difficult to make such an enormous purchasing decision without at least "sleeping on it," you could lose the house to another buyer if you hesitate. On the other hand, if you go rushing forward, you may spend some time nursing a case of "Buyer's Remorse."
Working with a professional real estate agent can make your decision much easier. Your agent can provide information about recent sales of homes in the area and answer any questions you may have. Keep in mind that a real estate agent's job is to find you a property that you want to buy, not to show you a lot of houses that won't interest you!
