Hey there! Let’s talk about stretching your mortgage payments (and no, this isn’t a new yoga pose). With inflation finally showing signs of cooling down but grocery prices still making us all wince, there’s a financial move that might help you breathe easier – extending your mortgage amortization.
Think of your mortgage amortization like a really, really long marathon. It’s the total time you’ll spend paying off your mortgage. An amortization extension is basically adding a few more miles to that marathon, but with smaller steps (payments) along the way.
Thanks to recent rule changes, ALL first-time homebuyers can now access 30-year amortizations, regardless of down payment size. Plus, if you’re buying a newly built home, you’re also eligible for that 30-year stretch. Think of it as the government’s way of saying “we get it – homes are expensive!”
Picture this: A couple bought their dream home 5 years ago with a $750,000 mortgage at 3.5%. Fast forward to today, with rates at 5.39% and $635,000 left to pay. Here’s how different amortizations affect their monthly budget:
Extending your amortization could be your financial superhero, swooping in to save your monthly budget. But like any superhero story, there’s more to the plot than meets the eye.
