Ask Mark. He’s done the home work.
Pop quiz: what’s the interest rate?
The answer is a lot more complicated than it seems. Today’s mortgage market can feel as terrifying as that dream where you are back in math class and haven’t studied. Fortunately, Mark and his team of real estate nerds/experts are wide awake and love to figure out the factors that determine your interest rate.
He’s also got his eye on the dizzying rise and fall of Austin home prices. So go ahead, give him your numbers and he’ll figure it out for you. It’s an easy A.
Google isn’t the answer.
The most FAQ of all home buying FAQs is “what’s the interest rate today?” Don’t rely on a quick Google search to give you the right answer. There are actually seven factors that determine your mortgage interest rate: credit scores, home location, home price and loan amount, down payment, loan term, interest rate type, and loan type. So don’t underrate your rate. Mark has the expertise and resources to give you the right answer based on real factors and real human interaction.
Ok… sometimes Google is the answer.
