Is now the time to purchase a home —
or are you betting home prices will drop further?
Consider the following:
When rates increase by 1%over their current level, the price of a home would have to drop nearly 11%to match today’s payment.
Buying Power Formula (approx): (Rate + 1%) = (Purchase Price – 11%)
This chart compares the difference of the monthly payment and purchase price for loans with interest rates that vary by 1%. This is an illustration and does not reflect your actual loan information or the exact interest rate you may receive. Please contact us for current rates.

Interest rates provided are for illustrative purposes only and are subject to change daily. The
payment amounts provided do not include homeowner's insurance or property taxes which
must be paid in addition to your loan payment. Your actual payment may be higher. Closing
costs are assumed to be paid by the borrower at closing. If the closing costs are financed, the
loan and payment amounts will be higher. Your loan's interest rate will depend upon the
specific characteristics of the loan transaction and your credit profile up to the time of
closing. If the down payment is less than 20%, mortgage insurance may be required and could
increase the monthly payment and APR.
