The interest rates are changing on a daily basis, and they always have been. It’s just that we notice it more now, because the swings seem to be so much bigger. So what does this mean for you as a buyer, as you’re getting ready to buy a home? Well, let’s take an example. A $350,000 loan with a 1% change in interest rate will cost you a $200 difference in price. So if it goes up 1% it is $200 more for you. This doesn’t include any PMI, taxes, or anything like that. It’s just on the principal and interest. So hopefully that helps you as you get ready to plan on purchasing a home and understanding what the interest rates are doing when experts are talking about them going up or coming down. You know, exactly what that practically might mean for you.

The Importance Of A Local Lender
One of the first things that you want to do when you’re shopping for a new home is to talk to your lender. It won’t cost you anything and they’re going to help you understand your purchasing power, what your monthly payments might be, and the paperwork that’s going to be involved in the application, then they’re probably going to have you submit that loan application so that they can get you an actual pre approval letter so that you can be best positioned when you want to make an offer on a house. And that is one of the first things that you want to do.
