FAQ
Can I get a second mortgage?
Yes. But it's wise to talk to a professional before making a decision about whether or not you want one. A second mortgage is usually used to consolidate existing debts and to finance home improvements.
How can you tell if your house is worth selling?
It could be that your home has been priced incorrectly if you ask for a low asking price. If your asking price is significantly below the market value, there might not be enough interest. For more information on current market conditions, download our Home Value Report.
How do I calculate my rate of interest?
Interest rates change daily based on market conditions. In the last week, the average interest rate was 4.39%. Multiply the length of the loan by the interest rate to calculate the interest rate. For example, if you finance $200,000 over 20 years at 5% per year, your interest rate is 0.05 x 20 1%, which equals ten basis points.
