How Your Credit Score Affects Your Mortgage Rate
To start with, you'll need to know what your current credit score is. You should compare that against the average Massachusetts consumer
credit score which is 705. And the national average credit score
is 677. Your credit score impacts what your home mortgage rate will
be. Historically home mortgage rates have varied from
5% to over 13%. Lenders create their home mortgage rates by using
the Federal Discount Interest Rate and then increase it by using
an internal formula to create their own home mortgage rate. When
you apply for a home mortgage, your home mortgage rate will be determined
by a whole host of factors, one of which is your credit score.
Massachusetts Mortgage State Laws:
Foreclosure
Massachusetts is a title theory state. A title theory requires that the lender holds the title
to the property until the loan is paid. The loan document is the trust deed. In Massachusetts, a trust deed and a mortgage are synonymous. Non-judicial foreclosure processes are generally elected. The requirements for sale of a foreclosed property:
- Notice of sale must be announced once a week, for three weeks
prior to sale, in the county’s highest circulating newspaper.
- A notice must be sent to the borrower’s home thirty days
before the sale of the property, via registered mail.
- The lender has right of redemption.
The Homestead Act
The Homestead Act does not protect participants from liens.
