How to find and compare home mortgage loan interest rates...

 

The process of searching for the best interest rates in Houston is in many occasions a complicated full-time work.

Buying a house involves many complex decisions and besides finding the right house, it would be fair to say the most important is the mortgage loan interest rate. Making sure we will not be paying more interest than we would otherwise with a lower interest rate over a 15- or 30-year term is extremely important.

Consider the following hypothetical scenario which in no way is an offer or extension for credit at 2 different possible interest rates assuming $0 closing costs and no mortgage insurance. We offered $325,000 for the perfect house and seller has accepted. Therefore, the following numbers,

Purchase price: $325,000
Down Payment: $16,250 (5%)
Loan Amount: $308,750
Option 1 at 4.875% - Monthly payment: $1,633.93
Option 2 at 4.625% - Monthly payment: $1,587.41

If we were going to close the purchase of such house at the higher interest rate of 4.875% and a payment of $1,633.93, the opportunity cost of not closing at the lower rate of 4.625% would be $34,299.30. Why? Because if we were to choose higher interest rate and thus higher monthly payment if applied to lower rate on a 30-year mortgage, we would accelerate the term of our loan by 21 payments at $1,633.93 would equals the $34,299.30. And any other effort to pay more would equally accelerate faster the repayment of the note.

But finding the best interest rates in Houston not only depends on finding the cheapest bank but also finding the best partnership to complete the home purchase. Clear Lending offers the best interest rates in Houston by setting up Realtor-Loan Officer partnerships where better rates can be obtained than most competitors without the need to waste time searching for dozens of banks and lenders.

Simply apply now and we will start your home loan approval with all your options to compare.

    Thanks Joan for you amazing work and even better interest rate. Anyone looking to buy a home I recommend this company. Very professional, knowledgeable, experienced and available professional. I like to equally thank Patricia for answering all my questions throughout the entire process. You guys rock!!!

  • Joshua Brandson • December 13, 2021

    Thank you guys for all the long hours you all have dedicated to get me approved and close my first home. As first time home buyer, I had no clue who to go with as this process can get overwhelming. I had contacted my bank plus a couple of options and somehow I felt I would be wasting my time. When I contacted clearlending I got the feeling they meant business and it has been fast and no lender fees. I can tell Joan is very knowlegeable after he would show me at every home appointment what to pay attention and what not to worry in regards the house structure. I was always told in Houston homes may have foundation issues and Joan gave me detailed explanations. This guy knows a lot. I truly recommend him. Thanks Joan.

  • Jonas Lawrence • June 07, 2024

    I was looking to refinance and applied online and the first call back I received was from Patricia. She was great and because of that I trusted my refinance with Clear Lending. Patricia stayed in touch with me and helped me when I needed and seemed in great spirits every time. I appreciated that. I am a veteran am suspicious and nervous often about people and these processes, but Joan helped keep me cool and calm throughout. Thanks guys.
