What's the Point of Points?
Mar 26, 2024 Season 1 Episode 11
Beth Hobart & Vicki Moletteire

Interest rates are higher than they used to be, and if you are thinking of buying a home, you may have heard of “points” or “buying points” but what does that mean exactly, and what’s the point of doing it?

In this episode of The Home Girls podcast, we delve into mortgage points and uncover the valuable strategies that can save you thousands over the life of your loan. We will demystify mortgage points and equip you with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions about your home financing. We'll explore the ins and outs of paying points, discuss how paying points can lower your interest rate and monthly payments, and weigh the pros and cons of this financial strategy.

As an added BONUS, we will also unpack the difference between a permanent rate buydown and a temporary rate buydown.  

So, have a listen, DOWNLOAD this episode, follow us and reach out with questions! We would also love your feedback!

Thank you for listening!
