6 Ways Your Buyers Can Save on Their Mortgage

With rates near 7%, your clients are feeling the financial squeeze. Here are a few secrets to ensuring they get the best deal they can on their loan:

1. Shop around for a loan.
2. Negotiate.
3. Buy down the mortgage points.
4. Ask for discounts.
5. Be aware of float-down policies.
6. Consider the mortgage terms.

Lenders may be able to offer other types of loans to help borrowers lower their monthly payments. For example, adjustable-rate mortgages have been surging in popularity as 30-year rates edge higher. ARMs accounted for nearly 19% of single-family mortgages in the spring, although they remain below pre-2008 levels, according to CoreLogic data. ARMs tend to offer a lower introductory interest rate, but they will reset to current rates in five or seven years, depending on the terms.
