Best Rates Today for California Home Loan

Monday, October 30th, 2006

Welcome to this wonderful day to find out the best rates available for a home loan in California.  The best rate available for you is the one that you can most afford to enter into on a long term basis.  The real estate agent wants you to buy the house in any manner, shape or finance possible.  Once you get a mortgage for the house, the money goes through escrow and the house closes, the real estate agent earns their commission and it’s adios amigo or amiga.

You are going to get many choices and each choice will have a best available rate for the terms and conditions of the home loan.  The 30 year fixed mortgage is going to be a little lower than the 15 year fixed mortgage and the 15 year variable mortgage is going to be less than the fixed mortgage home loan rates.  If you are shopping for a refinance rate, the rates are going to be different than the fixed rates for the first time buyer and the home equity loan is going to be less than all the others, more than likely.

The real kicker to the situation is – can you really afford the home loan at the rate it is being offered to you.  Also, do not take the first offer offered.  If one is willing to loan, you will more than likely find a second and third offer – just make sure it is from a different set of lenders; they often offer their loans through 3 or 4 different companies.
