It’s the season of traditions – of decking the halls and all that.
But when you’re taking a break from being merry all month long, it’s also the perfect season to start a potentially life-changing tradition to consider: an annual mortgage review.
While it might not spark joy like drinking mulled wine by the fire or visiting Santa at the mall, taking a closer look at your mortgage this December could set you up for significant financial gains in the new year.
The tradition of always improving
The economic landscape has shifted dramatically since last year, and there’s a good chance your financial situation may have, too.
Which is why right now is the perfect time to reassess your mortgage strategy to ensure it aligns with the current environment.
Whether you’re feeling the squeeze from rising living costs or just aiming for better financial footing, there are innovated mortgage strategies that can help you regain some control of your financial life and start getting ahead in 2025, once and for all.
HELOC Rate Lock: Security Plus Flexibility
The HELOC Rate Lock strategy combines the security of fixed rates with the adaptability of a variable-rate HELOC. This approach allows you to enjoy predictable monthly payments while still having the opportunity to take advantage of falling rates—perfect for those who crave stability but don’t want to miss out on saving opportunities.
Cascade Strategy: A Proactive Approach to Lower Rates
If you’re proactive about your finances, consider the Cascade Strategy. It allows you to make prepayments at current lower rates and reset these amounts annually, gradually reducing your interest costs and avoiding the shock of future rate hikes.
It’s about making smart moves now that pay off across the lifetime of your mortgage and help you build the financial future you deserve.
So, while you’re planning all this year’s festivities, set aside some time to unwrap the potential savings and let’s review that mortgage.
It might not be the most thrilling tradition, but it could just be the best gift you give yourself and your family all year.
