Cyber Monday is a day when we potentially end up spending a lot of money on gifts for friends and family. This Cyber Monday, Quicken Loans and the Rock Family of Companies want to put money back in your pocket if you’re in the market for a mortgage. In this season of giving, you can give a gift to yourself.
Today only, if you lock your interest rate on a purchase or refinance through Quicken Loans, you’ll get our best pricing, whether you apply online or work with one of our Home Loan Experts. Better yet, you can receive .5 to 2.625 points that you can use to buy down your interest rate.1 The exact discount depends on the particulars of the loan. Finally, purchase clients who get approved today but aren’t ready to lock today will receive $1,000 off closing.2
We’ll go over the role points play in your mortgage transaction below. But Quicken Loans isn’t the only one offering a special deal.
Our sister company, Rocket HomesSM, will match you with a top-rated real estate agent and give you up to $750 cash back after you buy or sell a home.3, 4
Our friends at RocketLoans® have a special offer for personal loans today, as well.
Find all the details below, with offers organized by company.
Quicken Loans
Quicken Loans will be offering clients anywhere from .5 to 2.625 points to buy down the rate. Clients approved for a purchase who don’t want to lock their rate today can still receive $1,000 off closing costs.2
The Value of a Point
Also known as a prepaid interest point or mortgage discount point, points are something you use to buy down your interest rate. In short, the more points you prepay at closing, the lower your interest rate will be.
One point is equal to 1% of the loan amount. You pay for these points by bringing money to the closing table. You can purchase points in increments all the way down to 0.125 points.
Today only, you can get a rate between .5 and 2.625 points, with the exact amount depending on the loan scenario, without bringing any extra money to the transaction. Some people may find that it makes sense to buy down their interest rate further. To give you a better idea of how points work, let’s do a little point math below. Don’t worry. There won’t be a quiz.
Pointers on Point Math
To determine whether purchasing more mortgage discount points to buy down interest rates makes sense for you, you need to determine how much it costs to buy the points and compare that to how much you would be saving on your monthly payment. After that, you need to make an educated guess on how long you’ll be in the house.
As mentioned above, one point is equal to 1% of the loan amount. On a $200,000 loan, the cost of 1 point amounts to $2,000, for example. Figure out the amount of money you could save monthly by buying down your interest rate. You should be able to get this comparison from your Home Loan Expert.
After that, it’s a matter of dividing the amount you would pay for your points by the amount of monthly savings you would receive. This will give you the number of monthly payments it’ll take to break even. If you think you’re going to be in the house longer than the break-even point, it makes sense to buy down your interest rate. If you plan to be in the house a shorter amount of time, don’t buy the points or don’t buy as many.
Of course, the decision is easier if you lock your interest rate today because some of your points are free.
To be eligible for these offers, you must either lock your rate today for the special pricing or get approved for $1,000 off closing costs. Act before 11:59 p.m. ET.
Rocket Homes
Our friends over at Rocket Homes have an offer of their own on Cyber Monday for clients who get approved today and opt to be contacted by Rocket Homes.
Clients who buy or sell their home with a top-rated Rocket Homes Partner Agent can get up to $750 cash back within 30 days after closing. If they buy and sell their home with Rocket Homes, they can get back up to $1,500.4
The exact amount of the rebate will depend upon the final sale or purchase price of your home as listed on the purchase agreement after subtracting seller concessions or upgrades included with the property.
If you want to take advantage of this opportunity, you need to agree to be connected with an agent during your Quicken Loans approval process by 11:59 p.m. ET. Combined with the offer to take $1,000 off closing costs,2 your total savings for getting approved today as a purchase client could be as high as $1,750.
RocketLoans
Could you use some cash, but using home equity doesn’t make sense? RocketLoans is doing a deal on personal loans for Cyber Monday.
If you get a personal loan from RocketLoans today, you’ll get 2% cash back at closing, up to $250.5
This could be a great opportunity to consolidate your debt or get some cash for an unexpected expense. As with all the other offers, you must seize the day and take advantage prior to 11:59 p.m. ET.
If you’re in the market to purchase or refinance, today just might be the day to move forward. The pricing incentive is good for today only. If you’re ready to take the leap and save some money, you can get started with Rocket Mortgage® by Quicken Loans today. Or, if you prefer, you can give one of our Home Loan Experts a call at (800) 785-4788.
If you’re looking for a real estate agent to help you with the purchase or sale of your home, Rocket Homes would be happy to assist.
And, if you’re in the market for a personal loan, RocketLoans has a good deal.
