Are You Overpaying on Your Mortgage?
5 Signs To Watch For…

Your mortgage is likely one of your biggest monthly expenses, so it’s worth making sure you’re not overpaying and missing out on potential savings. Many homeowners pay more than necessary on their mortgage, sometimes by thousands of dollars over the life of the loan, by overlooking certain details.

Here are five key signs that you might be paying more than you need to, and what you can do about it:

House Icon With #1Your Interest Rate Is Higher Than Current Market Rates

Mortgage rates fluctuate over time. If your current interest rate is significantly higher than what’s available today, you might be overpaying. Even a small difference (like 0.25%) can add up to tens of thousands of dollars over the life of your loan.

What to do: Check current mortgage rates with AmeriHome and consider refinancing because it may mean a lower payment and more interest savings in the long run.

House Icon With #2You Haven’t Had A Mortgage Checkup In Years

If you’ve had the same mortgage for a long time without reviewing it, you might be missing out on better terms. The reality is, your mortgage needs might not be the same as they were just a few months ago. Life changes, and so do financial goals. Taking the time to reassess your mortgage could uncover opportunities to save money and gain more financial flexibility.

What to do: Get a FREE Mortgage Checkup with AmeriHome to help determine if your home loan still fits your lifestyle and long-term plans.

House Icon With #3You’re Still Paying Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)

If your home equity has reached 20% or more, you may be eligible to cancel PMI. Many homeowners forget to request removal, and continue to pay for mortgage insurance when it is no longer necessary.

What to do: Find out if you qualify, and make sure to speak with your home loan specialist at AmeriHome to check your current loan-to-value (LTV) ratio and request PMI cancellation.

House Icon With #4You’re Not Making Extra Payments Toward Principal

If you have the financial capacity to do so, making even small extra payments toward your mortgage principal can significantly reduce the total interest you pay and shorten your loan term. You can read more about the benefits of making extra mortgage payments HERE.

What to do: Consider refinancing to lower your payments and use your extra savings to pay more toward principal. Also, you can round up your monthly payment, cut expenses to redirect money toward your mortgage, or take advantage of an unexpected financial windfall to pay down your principal.

House Icon With #5You’re Missing Out On Tax Deductions

Homeownership may come with tax perks, like deducting mortgage interest or property taxes. If you’re not taking advantage of this, you could be missing out on valuable savings.

What to do: Talk to a financial or tax advisor (and appropriate government agencies) for more information on how owning a home might affect your taxes or government benefits.
