Financing Your Home >When Interest Rates Rise
Many people fall out of the home buying market when interest rates start to go up. This is often a mistake. Many of the best mortgages deals become available when lenders are competing for new business and sellers are competing within a smaller buyer pool. You just have to know how to keep the costs down in order to counter the higher interest rates.
One of the best tricks is the buy-down. In a buy-down, a fee is paid at the closing to get a lower interest rate. In a soft market, an anxious seller may be lured into to paying all or part of the buy-down. Another approach is to get the seller to pay some of closing costs, thus lowering the amount of cash a buyer needs to close. Frequently the seller's costs can be used as a write-off by the buyer. Always consult with your tax advisor if you are considering such an arrangement.
If the market is softening due to rising or higher rates, the price itself becomes an area where a buyer may be able to save a lot of money on a house through skillful negotiating. Lower prices mean lower loan amounts, so don't be discouraged by higher rates--use them to your advantage.

Maja Sly began working in real estate while in college over 12 years ago as a property manager. With a degree in Finance she has always been fascinated with the "numbers" aspect of everything. After several successful entrepreneurial ventures, she decided to change gears and began working with RE/MAX in 2001, to fill a void for what she thought was a lack of understanding by most agents regarding the mortgage aspect of purchasing a home. Quickly rising to become one the most prosperous and leading realtors in the Atlanta area. She has been awarded the RE/MAX Platinum and Chairman Club honors, and in 2005, she made it into the prestigious RE/MAX Hall of Fame. With her extensive background in mortgages and Finance, Maja formed The Sly Team which includes a Builder Services Department, Relocation Specialist, Residential, Luxury Homes, Town homes, Condos, and Investment Property. Maja has since started the Pinnacle Division which encompases the many facets of this ever-changing real estate market.
