Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good interest rate for a mortgage?
As of 2024, rates between 6-7% are typical for 30-year fixed mortgages. Rates vary based on credit score, down payment, and market conditions.
How much should I put down?
20% down avoids private mortgage insurance (PMI). However, many lenders accept 3-10% down for first-time buyers.
Should I choose 15-year or 30-year mortgage?
15-year loans have higher monthly payments but lower total interest. 30-year loans offer lower monthly payments with more flexibility.
