Frequently Asked Questions

How do I compare mortgages?
Compare mortgages by looking at the monthly payment, total interest paid, and total cost over the life of the loan. A lower rate doesn't always mean a better deal if the loan amount or term differs.
Should I choose the lowest monthly payment?
Not necessarily. A longer term gives lower monthly payments but costs more in total interest. Balance affordability with total cost. A 15-year mortgage costs much less overall than a 30-year.
What other factors should I compare?
Beyond rate and term, consider closing costs, points, PMI requirements, prepayment penalties, and whether the rate is fixed or adjustable.
