Central Vermont Real Estate, The Point of Points

May 2, 2011 by Leave a comment

buying Central Vermont real estateThose buying or refinancing Central Vermont real estate may want to know if there is a point to points.  In fact there is, points are a mortgage term that come in two forms, “origination points” and “discount points”.  Origination points are involved in most closings for Central Vermont real estate and cover the lender’s costs for issuing the loan.

Home buyers pay for discount points in order to reduce their monthly mortgage payments.  One point is equal to one percent of the loan value and can reduce the overall interest rate of the loan by 1/8 of a percent per point purchased.  In effect paying for points is paying interest up front.

When buying Central Vermont real estate a home buyer might wonder whether or not buying points is a wise idea.  If the main goal is a reduction in monthly payments, then paying for points up front can be a great idea.  On the flip side paying for points can be tough if it is taking away from money that you have set aside for a down payment.  Another consideration is how much the points cost and how quickly the monthly savings would recoup that upfront cost.

The financial aspect of buying Central Vermont real estate can be confusing.  A Central Vermont REALTOR® can clarify terms and educate a home buyer on the buying process.  Contact us today to have access to all Central Vermont properties that are currently listed for sale.

Central Vermont sportsCentral Vermont is home to an all star athlete and a winning women’s hockey team.  Recently the Norwich University women’s ice hockey team took the title for the Division III NCAA Championship, no small feat and a real boon for the university which is located in the heart of Central Vermont.  In addition, Sophie Leclerc achieved All-American status as a hockey player for Norwich University, a fantastic accomplishment.  Sophie is a native of Barre Vermont and a graduate student at Norwich University.

What makes the championship even richer for Norwich University is the fact that the women’s ice hockey program is only four years old.  Sophie Leclerc was the team’s captain, high scorer, and was named Eastern College Athletic Association player of the year in addition to acquiring her All- American status.  Way to go Sophie and the entire Norwich University Women’s Ice Hockey Team!
