Mortgage Rates Are Low, Great For Buying Highlands NC Real Estate

Meadows Mountain Realty, Highlands real estate experts

Mortgage rates are low, which is great for buying Highlands NC real estate. This week the average rate for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage was 3.45%, down from 3.49% the week before. Furthermore, contracts to purchase homes nationwide are up. Of course, these low rates are also great for homeowners looking to refinance. Ultimately, low rates are great for buyers, sellers, and owners.

Low rates save over the lifetime of a loan

Today’s low rates are great for saving money. Low rates make it great for sellers in that they entice buyers into the market. Additionally, securing a loan with a shorter term might hold appeal with such low rates. This week’s average percentage rate (APR) for a 15-year loan was 2.95%. Such a low rate adds great appeal for a shorter-term loan. Not only would a Highlands NC property be paid off sooner but it would also save a great deal of money in terms of interest.
