π How Are Builders Offering Mortgage Rates Around 4% When Market Rates Are Near 7%?
Comment βHELPβ for more info π
Builders can use part of their incentives to buy down your mortgage rate, which can significantly lower your monthly payment.
On a $450K home with 20% down, the difference between roughly 7% and 4% could be around $650β$675/month in principal and interest.
But before choosing the lower rate, always check:
β’ Is the rate permanent or temporary?
β’ How does the home price compare with nearby resale homes?
β’ What other incentives are included?
A 4% rate can be a great deal β when the price, rate, and incentives all make sense together.
