How Should I Compare the Top Mortgage Companies in Charlotte?
Banks are required to send you a loan estimate after you apply for a mortgage. You’ll find a comparisons section on the 3rd page of the loan estimate.
Annual percentage rate, or APR, combines up-front charges with monthly charges going forward and presents them as a rate. Some people find this difficult to understand, because we don’t buy things in percentages in our daily lives. The cashier at the grocery store doesn’t give you a percentage when you check out. They give you a dollar amount.
That’s why, if you’re going to focus on one comparison, “in five years” is a good choice. This shows you the total amount you’ll pay over a five-year period, along with the amount of the mortgage balance you’ll have paid off.
When you receive mortgage quotes from loan officers on Bundle, you’ll be able to compare both the APR and the “in 5 years” numbers side-by-side of each bid.
What are Custom Mortgage Rates?
When you search for mortgage rates online, you are looking at advertised mortgage rates. These advertised rates often assume a nearly perfect credit score and a large down payment.
It’s important to request personalized quotes so you can compare mortgage costs based on your individual situation.
If you don’t have a 20% down payment, you’ll need mortgage insurance. You may also have additional interest rate adjustments based on your down payment, credit profile, or other factors.
How Do I Find the Best Mortgage Rates?
First, as we just discussed, it’s important to compare the total cost of your mortgage and not just the interest rate. A bank might send you a quote for a low interest rate, but charge you high fees and points that completely offset the benefit of the lower interest rate.
Unless you talk with every bank, it’s impossible to guarantee you are receiving the absolute best mortgage rate. We recommend you compare at least 3 mortgage banks when you are ready to apply for a mortgage. Make sure you tell the banks that you are shopping around so they give you the best quote.
When you use Bundle, we automatically connect you with 3 loan officers licensed in your area.
