You are purchasing a new home and need to borrow $325,000 from a mortgage lender. The mortgage lender quotes you a rate of 6. 5% APR for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage (with payments made at the end of each month). The mortgage lender also tells you that if you are willing to pay 1 point, they can offer you a lower rate of 6.25% APR for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage. One point is equal to 1% of the loan value. So if you take the lower rate and pay the points you will need to borrow an additional $3250 to cover points you are paying the lender. Assuming that you do not intend to prepay your mortgage (pay off your mortgage early), are you better off paying the 1 point and borrowing at 6.25% APR or just taking out the loan at 6.5% without any points?
Answer: Pay the points!
!
Points (6.25% APR)
First we need the monthly interest rate = APR/k = .0625/12 = .00520833 or .5208%.
Now:
PV = 328250 ( 325,000 + 1 point)
I = .5208
FV = 0
N = 360 (30 years ? 12 months)
Compute PMT = $2,021.01

No Points First we need the monthly interest rate = APR/k = .065/12 = .005417 or .5417%.
!
Now: PV = 325000 (no points) I = .5417 FV = 0 N = 360 (30 years ? 12 months) Compute PMT = $2,054.22
!
Since $2,021.01 < $2,054.22, pay the points! Diff: 3 Section: 5.1 Interest Rate Quotes and Adjustments Skill: Analytical
