Points vs. Rate
Which is Better?

A mortgage point is equal to one percent of the total loan value. A home loan for $400,000 has a point value of $4,000. You can buy points upfront to lower the interest rate of your mortgage. Each option is used in different situations. Ask your Zeal Mortgage Expert for more information.

duration of the loan to be fixed as well, allowing you to budget your finances effectively.
