Monthly Budget

What changes when your rate moves

When mortgage rates shift — even by a small amount — your monthly payment can move quite a bit. A rate increase means a higher payment on a new loan or refinance; a rate decrease can lower it. The tricky part is that your payment isn't just about the rate. It also depends on how much you're borrowing, how long your loan is, and what you already owe. If you're thinking about refinancing or buying, it's worth sitting down and running the real numbers so you know what to expect. There's no guessing required here — I can walk you through exactly how a rate change would affect your specific situation.

Let's look at your numbers and see what makes sense for your goals.

Tip of the Week

Closing costs typically run 2-5% of the loan amount. Ask your lender for a Loan Estimate so there are no surprises.

Tips for Homeowners

Protecting Yourself from Mortgage Scams

1.

Wire fraud is one of the fastest-growing real estate scams. Never wire closing funds based solely on email instructions — always verify account numbers by calling your title company at a number you look up yourself.

2.

Loan modification and foreclosure rescue scams target homeowners in distress. Legitimate help is available free through HUD-approved counseling agencies at 800-569-4287.

3.

Be wary of unsolicited offers to refinance or cash out equity at terms that sound unusually favorable. If someone contacts you out of the blue, verify their NMLS license number at nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
