Market Update
As with anything it is important to shop around for a mortgage and not just go with the first quote you receive from a lender. Lenders may have different loan products that will benefit you situation. Approximately 1/3 of home buyers fail to shop around and are stuck with the first quote they get.
The mortgage transaction is a large yet infrequent financial decision. First time home buyers are likely to take lender referrals from real estate agents or mortgage specialists. Research found that higher-income, younger-aged and minority borrowers are the most likely to shop around for a mortgage.
Whoever you take a referral from in regards to a lender it is important to shop around, know your options and negotiate the best terms considering all possible unexpected changes.
Have a wonderful week,
