How to use this information<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

APR vs Interest rate<\/strong> \u2192 Look at APR when comparing two lenders, because one lender may advertise a lower rate but hide fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to pay attention to each<\/strong> \u2192 Use interest rate to estimate your monthly payment; use APR to understand your total long-term cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common misconceptions<\/strong> \u2192 A lower rate doesn\u2019t always mean a cheaper loan if the APR is higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glossary of terms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the interest you’ll need to pay back on your loan. These rates change daily until you find your property and lock your rate. Things like your credit score, desired location, and property type may also affect this rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

APR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you’re comparing lenders, you should always look at their APR. As with interest rate, the lower the better. Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is a more comprehensive way to look at your interest rate. It can include other costs such as mortgage insurance, if applicable, points, and closing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Closing costs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are many additional services you’ll need to pay for when buying your home such as appraisal and title. We’ve estimated these costs so that you can understand the full financial impact of the transaction. Your loan advisor can go over these with you later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Points\/credits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Points and credits determine your closing costs and your interest rate. Paying points mean you pay more at closing to get a lower interest rate. Taking credits means you pay less at closing and make up the difference with a higher interest rate. Your loan advisor can help you with this later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What type of loan do most first-time homebuyers choose?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

FHA loans are often earmarked as a first-time homebuyer loan. And while many first-time buyers may opt for FHA due to more lax restrictions, the majority of buyers (both first-time and repeat) actually go for conventional loans. According to HMDA data, <\/a>79% of all loans in 2023 were conventional, 12% were FHA, and 8% were VA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
