Credits

A lender credit is money from your mortgage lender to help cover the mortgage-related closing costs associated with the purchase of your house. Your lender may offer you several thousand dollars in credit to cover most or all of the those costs. That credit is then applied to your mortgage.

Points

Mortgage points, also known as discount points, are fees paid directly to the lender at closing in exchange for a reduced interest rate. This is also called “buying down the rate,” which can lower your monthly mortgage payments.

One point costs 1 percent of your mortgage amount (or $1,000 for every $100,000).

  • Rates and fees are as of time displayed above and are subject to change without notice.
  • Better does not charge an origination fee. The one-time costs shown include points/credits and third-party fees. An escrow deposit, pre-paid interest, and other charges may be required depending on your situation.
  • Monthly payments do not include taxes and insurance premiums. Your actual monthly housing expenses will be higher.
  • We don’t yet have your complete financial picture. Your actual rate, payment, and costs could be higher. Get an official Loan Estimate before choosing a loan.
  • Loan approval is subject to underwriter review: not everyone who applies will be approved.
  • We also assume: closing costs are paid out of pocket and debt-to-income ratio is below 35%.
