How does the interest rate effect my mortgage payment?

What's Hot in Real Estate??

 
Interest Rates are still at/near record lows of @4.5%!!!!! Soo, on a $250,000 mortgage the monthly mortgage payment is only $1266.71. When the rates go up to 5% that becomes a $1342.05 payment and when they get to 5.5% it will be $1419.47. Thats $152.76 more for the FOR THE SAME house!! (...Thats $55,000 over the life of a 30 year loan) And it gets scarier as the rate increases....If you like to run your own numbers, head over to GarveySells.com and use our Mortgage Calculator.

The mortgage rates are unbelievable at this time. Great time to buy or refinance

Thank you for that very clear illustrative example. I am going to use it today with a client and thank you in advance. :)
