The reason for the confusion is due to the fact that mortgage financing is complex. The good news is that this complexity provides consumers with options and choices best suited to fit their needs.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone\u2019s financial position is unique. Some people have large cash reserves that can be used for down payments while others want to get into a home with little or no money down. Credit ratings vary from person to person. In addition, future plans vary. Some people plan on staying in their home for the rest of their lives while others only plan on staying for a few years. These facts alone make comparing your mortgage to your neighbor\u2019s based on rate alone a flawed endeavor, yet many people attempt to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, everyone wants a good deal. Keep in mind that comparing rates is just one component of the entire mortgage. Other variables include the term, down payment requirements, income qualifications, credit ratings, reserve requirements, current debt, prepaid points, and many more. A mortgage professional can take all of these variables that are unique to each individual and help a person obtain the loan that best fits their situation. The service they provide is time consuming andcomplex. However, the rewards of dealing with a professional carry forward throughout a borrower\u2019s life. Making wise financial decisions today helps to pave the way for a safe and secure future.<\/p>\n<p>Mortgage interest rates currently remain historically favorable despite some recent increases. There is much uncertainty about the future of the economy. A cautious approach to lock decisions is wise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Market Comment Mortgage bond prices finished the week slightly positive which kept rates relatively neutral.
