15 vs. 30 Yr Mortgages

Determining which mortgage term is right for you can be a challenge. With a 15 year mortgage you will pay significantly less interest, but only if you can afford the higher monthly payment. Use this calculator to compare these two mortgage terms, and let us help you decide which term is better for you.

Selling Your Home >No Risk Listing Here is a seller scenario that may help you make your next move. Once you have decided to sell, you might be afraid to put your present home on the market until you have found a new one and completed purchase negotiations. You are concerned that most sellers are reluctant to finalize offers from buyers who must include a contingency calling for the sale of a current residence before buying the new one. If you are in such a dilemma, the first step is to contact a professional real estate agent. The agent can show you how to list your home without the risk of putting your family out on the street. When you have a firm contract from a qualified buyer, you will become much more attractive to sellers. When you do find the perfect home, you will greatly increase your chances of being able to buy it.
