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.

  • Leo Johnson • October 20, 2023

    Thanks to the entire team at clear lending for making this process a smooth one. I loved the fact this place is a local one stop shop helping from the home search, school ratings to the loan, inspection to closing. Joan and Patricia were super knowlegeable and helpful during the entire process. I truly recommend them.

  • Laura Vazquez • May 15, 2021

    Words really can’t express our gratitude to Joan and his attentive and polite team of experts, ( Patricia and Jorge) who were always professional and answered all our questions promptly in a knowledgeable manner. After searching many places that did not show interest in addressing our concerns, we found Clear Lending, from the very first phone call we felt appreciated and understood. Thank you so much! I would highly recommend Clear Lending to everyone!

  • Nehemias Benavente • January 05, 2022

    Sr. Joan Gallardo gracias por su dedicacion y paciencia con nuestro proceso. No fue facil y tras ser denegados por nuestro propio banco (todavia no lo puedo creer) contacte a clear lending y desde el primer dia me dijeron que si hacia lo que me decian podria comprar casa. Y asi ha sido! Gracias Sr. Joan por su amabilidad y extrema paciencia. Que Dios le bendiga.
