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.
