What This Week's Rate Movement Means for Your Payment

Mortgage rates move a little almost every week, and small shifts add up to real dollars on your monthly payment. On a typical loan, even a quarter-point change can mean $50 or more a month — money that's better in your pocket. The good news: you don't have to time the market perfectly. What matters most is being ready, with your credit in good shape and your documents handy, so when a window opens we can move quickly. If you bought or refinanced in the last couple of years, it's worth a five-minute check to see whether today's rates could lower your payment. There's no obligation and no cost to run the numbers — just clarity on where you stand.

Want to see what today's rates mean for your payment? Let's run the numbers together.

Tip of the Week

Tips for Homeowners

Year-End Tax & Mortgage Planning

1.

Consider making your January mortgage payment in December to get an extra month of deductible interest in the current tax year (consult your tax advisor first).

2.

If you plan to sell next year, now is a good time to document improvements — receipts and records add to your cost basis and reduce taxable capital gain at sale.

3.

Review your W-4 withholding if you bought a home this year — your mortgage interest deduction may mean you're having too much withheld from each paycheck.

Have questions about how any of this affects your mortgage or home purchase? We're here to help — reach out to the Rad Mortgage team any time and we'll walk you through your options.
