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.

    FROM GOOGLE: There’s only few people out there that would go ABOVE and BEYOND for a Customers needs! Words cannot express my deep appreciation for having found Joan Gallardo! Let’s just say, I was on the verge of loosing a big financial investment, I was dealing with a Lender that put me in a big financial strain as they kept delaying my closing date, I had zero confidence with the Lender and decided to find another source! I literally was expecting only a Miracle from above as at this stage of my loan I had less than 3 weeks to close on my home. When I say Joan was Godsend it’s a definite and true statement! I explained my situation to him in the hopes of a lender closing my loan with such short notice! Joan diligently worked on my loan day and night to meet the deadline! Who does that?!! No one really but Time was no barrier for him! 1am, 2am it didn’t matter, he worked on it! He almost even drove to the Lender I was using office location! I’ve never known someone as dedicated to their customer! I gave Joan a deadline of 10/31! Honestly I only expected a miracle to meet the deadline! Well thank God I’m overwhelmed and HAPPY to say today 10/31 I received my final closing docs and I’m a homeowner!! Please take my experience with Joan for anyone out there looking for a Lender or even a real estate agent JOAN GALLARDO is your Guy! He cares for his customers is dedicated and will do Everything in his willpower to get you into a house! Don’t settle for any promises of lenders out there! Do your due diligence first don’t fall into a situation as mine. I was thankfully blessed with an Amazing Loan officer and please be assured he will take care of all your needs or questions during your home loan and or home search process. I’m so grateful to have found him. If you need a home loan NOW, a prompt and highly knowledgeable loan officer contact JOAN GALLARDO!!

    Joan,

    No tengo palabras para agradecerles todo lo que han hecho por nosotros, mi Esposa y yo estamos muy felices de que nos ayudaron a realizar nuestro sueño de comprar la casa que tanto esperamos. Este fue un gran trabajo de ustedes, cuando todo parecia muy complicado, siempre encontraron la solucion, siempre nos dieron mucho aliento para continuar, y nunca nos dejaron solos. Joan, gracias por conseguirnos locked rate de 3.875% cuando habiamos iniciado con 4.25%. Gracias por tomar nuestras llamadas y responder nuestras dudas a toda hora, siempre con la major actitud. Los recomendamos 100%. Gracias por hacer lo imposible posible, los voy a recomendar con todos mis amigos.

    Un abrazo! Fausto
