Do you obsessively check the home #mortgage interest rates in hopes of catching the lowest rate before you buy your new home? Stop doing it! There are so many factors that go into how much you’ll end up paying, and the interest rate you see today will probably not be the one you actually get. Spend time getting your credit score in order, figuring out which type of mortgage will suit you best and checking your local housing market. And, of course, be sure you pick the house of your dreams!
