Saugus is a great town close to the water and just north of Boston, in Essex County. It has a long history dating back over 400 years. With lots of historical sites and great public infrastructure, Saugus is a great place to relocate.

If you are going to relocate to Saugus or you are looking for your first home in Essex County, then you may need a mortgage. A mortgage will help you get the home you want without having to put hundreds of thousands of dollars down.

The Mortgage

If Saugus, with its close proximity to Boston is for you, then you may want a mortgage. Before you start looking for your new home, it is a good idea to get pre-approved by your lender. When you get pre-approved, you will know exactly what you can afford. Although there are only two types of mortgages for you to concern yourself with, there are still many viable options for you. The two most popular types of mortgages are a fixed rate and an adjustable rate mortgage.

• A fixed rate mortgage has a stable interest rate. When you sign up for a fixed rate mortgage, you keep the same rates for the duration of the loan. Your monthly payments never change.
• An adjustable rate mortgage has an unstable interest rate. The interest rate you signed up with may not be the same in a month or two. The interest rate changes with the economy. Your monthly payments are rarely the same, but they can sometimes be much lower than with a fixed rate loan.

If you have a mortgage that you are not happy, with then talk to your lender about refinancing your mortgage.

Refinance

When you decide to refinance, you are essentially taking out a new loan to pay off the older one, hopefully at a lower interest rate. You should always try to refinance when the interest rates are a little lower than what you already pay. Ask our professionals to answer any questions you may have with the refinancing options available to you. You might be surprised by what is available and affordable.

There are many reasons to refinance your mortgage:

• If you signed up for a fixed rate a few years ago and now the interest rates are more favorable.
• You have a fixed rate mortgage and now you want an adjustable rate or vice versa.
• You have other unexpected debts.

If refinancing is agreeable with you, then talk to our professionals about getting a refinance loan. You can refinance your mortgage in many ways. Let one of our professionals tell you about an interest-only loan. This loan allows you to pay off the interest of your loan without having to pay down the principle for a period of time. This leaves you with some money to pay off any other unexpected bills that may come up.

The Home Equity Loan

If you have had you home for a little while with the same mortgage, then you will start building equity. Equity is the difference between the value of your home and the amount you owe on the mortgage. You can borrow against the equity in your home and use it to pay any consumer related debt, for an education, or even go see a red sox game. This loan is like getting a second mortgage. It does not pay off your initial loan, so a refinance loan is sometimes more appropriate. Make sure to discuss the details of both with a lender before making a decision.

There are a few types of home equity loans for you to choose from:

• A home equity line of credit
• A lump sum payment.

This gives you a little bit of freedom. You can do whatever you want with the money with very little worry about paying it back. When it is time to pay it back, hopefully it is at a lower rate.
