Will Buying Points Save You Money?

Should you buy points? Buying points when you close your mortgage can reduce its interest rate, which in turn reduces your monthly payment. But each "point" will cost you 1% of your mortgage balance. This calculator helps you determine if you should pay for points, or use the money to increase your down payment. Click on the "View Report" button to review your information.

This Financial Calculator requires a Browser with Java Support

Real Estate Tips
Selling Your Home >The Season for Selling Houses

We hear a lot of talk about which months are the most lively ones for getting our listings sold. Many people think the ideal time to put a house on the market is when the azaleas are in bloom and the grass is the greenest. In many parts of the country, the "spring market" is thought of as the real estate industry's Christmas season.

There are important factors that strongly influence the sale of houses. Interest rates, the availability of local employment, tax rates, and the overall economic health of the community all play a large part in determining how quickly homes move and how well the sellers will do at the closing table. Your home may sell quickly during a month when the weather is gloomy but the interest rates are low. Waiting for spring flowers to bloom before planting your "For Sale" sign may improve your home's curb appeal, but may not have as much effect on the sale of your home as interest rates that go up as quickly as your tulips.
