Will Buying Points Save You Money?

Should you buy points? Buying points when you close your mortgage can reduce its interest rate, which in turn reduces your monthly payment. But each "point" will cost you 1% of your mortgage balance. This calculator helps you determine if you should pay for points, or use the money to increase your down payment. Click on the "View Report" button to review your information.

This Financial Calculator requires a Browser with Java Support

Real Estate Tips
Curb Appeal >Grooming Your Yard

Does your yard have a freshly-painted fence, a smooth, green lawn and a well-trimmed hedge? A well-groomed yard is one of the most important indicators of proud ownership. Neighborhood pride can pay impressive dividends to homeowners.

Even if you don't plan to move right away, grooming and landscaping your yard could help your neighbors sell their home. Yard work and gardening can be relaxing and rewarding hobbies that can pay off in beautiful flowers--and higher property values. If everyone does their share to make the neighborhood look terrific, the demand for homes like yours will increase among prospective buyers, and nearby homes will also sell for top dollar. When you are ready to sell or refinance, the comparable homes in your neighborhood will support a higher price for your home.
