What are points on a mortgage?
Mortgage Points When you close on a mortgage, you are given the option to buy "points". These points are a fee paid to the lender that lower the interest rate on the mortgage. One (1) point = 1% of the mortgage amount, and will typically lower your interest rate by 0.125% on a 30 year loan. How do I know if I should buy Points? Whether or not you buy points is a function of how long you will keep your mortgage. Generally it will make more sense to buy points if you plan to hold onto your mortgage for a long time, and you can calculate the breaken number of years for buying points to make economic sense. About.com offers the following advice on determining this breakeven point: * "1. Calculate the amount of your monthly payment at the interest rate you will be charged if you do not pay points. * "2. Calculate the amount of your monthly payment at the lower rate if you do pay points. * "3. Deduct the lower payment from the higher payment to find the amount saved each month. * "4. Divide the amount charged for points at closing by the monthly amount saved. The result is the number of months you must keep the loan to break-even on paying points." About.com continues with an example, showing the breakeven mortgage hold period for buying 1 point on a $100,000 30-year 7.5% loan is 117 months. If you hold the mortgage less than 117 months, it won't make economic sense to have purchased the points.
