Monday Mortgage Memo: December 10, 2012

Rates are still at the same low level as they were last week, so they are standing firm at their historic-low records. 

If you are considering a refinance, it is important to first calculate how much money a refinance would cost you and how much the refi could save you. Here is a great article from GoBankingRates.com that guide you through the calculating process. And feel free to use our easy Arkansas Mortgage Calculators to help with the math. 

Bank of Little Rock Mortgage is also rolling out a new blog to provide our experience and expertise on mortgage finance, written in plain English for you to follow easily. We call it The Mortgage Statement.  

Are you interested in seeing if you prequalify for a home loan? We have a quick-and-easy way for you to get prequalified for a mortgage online.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns, we would love to hear from you. Just contact our Arkansas Mortgage Lenders and let us know what you need. 

Happy Monday,

Scott McElmurry

President & CEO of Bank of Little Rock Mortgage
