FINANCING YOUR HOME
In
this section I-RealEstate.com will take a look at home financing and
home mortgages. Not many of us are buying a house for cash these days
so being informed about home mortgages is another vital step in the
home buying process. There are so many home financing options
available for home buying today it may be impossible to list them all
here. We will give it a try though. Traditional 10,15,20 and 30 Year
Fixed Rate home mortgages have been available to home buyers for years
and usually are easily understandable for anyone buying a home.
Whether buying a home in Michigan or anywhere else, these mortgage
products are available. These programs are simple. With a 10 Year
Fixed Rate mortgage the interest rate remains the same for the entire
10 years and you will payoff your home in 10 years. The same applies
with a 15,20 and 30 year fixed rate home mortgage. Now we will go into
more detail about adjustable rate mortgages. Adjustable rate mortgage
were created and became popular in the early 1980’s. Back then they
were called 1 year adjustable or variable rate home mortgages. Today
not only are there 1 year adjustable rate mortgage, but 2, 3, 5 and 7
year adjustable rate mortgages as well. They are all 30 year home
mortgages. These products offer a lower interest rate than the
previous fixed rates mentioned and will afford you a lower monthly
payment. Another way to describe them is 2 Year Fixed Rate, 3 Year
Fixed Rate, 5 Year Fixed Rate and 7 Year Fixed Rate mortgages. At the
end of the “fixed” period they then change to 1 year adjustable for
the remaining term. Example: With a 5 Year Adjustable Rate Mortgage
at an interest rate of 5% the rate will remain the same (will not
adjust) for the entire 5 year period. In the 6th year the
rate will adjust with the market every year for the remaining 25
years. It can stay the same, go up or go down depending on market
conditions at the adjustment time. Those taking adjustable rate
mortgages from 1999 through 2005 came out ahead of those taking 30
Year Fixed Rate mortgages and saved an amazing amount of money in
comparison. Most adjustable rate mortgages are tied to either the 1
year treasury index or the Libor index. If you know you are buying a
home and are going to live in that home for 7 years or less one of
these products will be best for your situation. If you want a lower
payment or need a lower payment to qualify when purchasing a home the
adjustable rate mortgage is for you. Whenever you make a home
purchase, speak with a participating I-RealEstate.com referred loan
officer for all the details on these great home buying products.
