HOW?
Three different lenders I work with contacted me today about home loan rates. All three of them are able to do a 30 yr fixed rate FHA or VA loan at 3.75% (apr 3.99%). WOW! With the loan rates getting even better today, you can save an estimated $72 a month (see example below).
Saving $72 a month on your Utah home payment is great, but how does $72 a month = $25,000 in savings? Look at the total interest paid over the life of the loan as given in the example below. In addition to the lower payment, you will save thousands in total interest paid. What a great day to buy a home.
Interest Rate: 3.750% (3.99% APR)
Loan Amount: $250,000.00 ~
Term of the Loan: 30 years
Monthly mortgage payments: $1,157.79 ~
Total interest paid over the life of the loan: $166,804.04
VS.
Interest Rate: 4.25% (4.49% APR)
Loan Amount: $250,000.00 ~ Term of the Loan: 30 years
Monthly mortgage payments: $1,229.85
Total interest paid over the life of the loan: $192,745.91
