The Cost Across Time [INFOGRAPHIC]

Some Highlights:

1. With interest rates around 3.66%, now is a great time to look back at where they’ve been over the past few decades. Comparatively, they’re pretty low!

2. According to Freddie Mac, rates are projected to increase to 3.9% by this time next year.

3. The impact your interest rate has on your monthly mortgage payment is significant. An increase of just $20 dollars in your monthly payment can add up to $240 per year and $7,200 over the life of your loan.

4. Maybe it’s time to lock in now, while rates are still historically low.
