Mortgage Facts to save you money!
Did you know that the average mortgage lasts barely 3 years, yet over 75% of mortgages are closed for 5 years or longer?
Based on this stat, a lot of mortgage holders are paying some form of penalty when they refinance or payoff their mortgage early. Compound this with the fact that today’s 3 year rates are ~ 0.20% lower then 5 year rates, and there are potentially significant savings to be had in a term shorter then 5 years!
Banks are renewing more than half their mortgages at posted rates.
The posted 5 year rate is about 1.5% higher than discounted rates. On a $250,000 mortgage that could cost an additional $17,000 over a 5 year term. While you may be able to talk a bank into offering you discounted rates, we offer them by default without question!
