For Americans hoping to buy a home this fall, the math just became uncomfortable again. Mortgage rates near 7% can turn a seemingly manageable $400,000 purchase into a substantially larger monthly obligation than buyers might expect. Freddie Mac reported that the average 30-year fixed mortgage reached 6.95% for the week ending September 17, up from 6.76% one week earlier. That change may look small on

A reverse mortgage is a loan secured by your home. You retain ownership, and you must use the home as your principal residence, maintain it, and pay property taxes, homeowners insurance and applicable association charges. Failure to meet the loan obligations can lead to foreclosure.
Interest and fees are added to the balance over time, which generally increases the debt and reduces the equity available later. The loan generally becomes due when the home is sold or is no longer the borrower’s principal residence, or after the last borrower dies, subject to applicable protections for an eligible non-borrowing spouse.
That makes your expected time in the home, other financial resources and plans for your heirs important parts of the conversation. Ask for a written comparison of upfront costs, cash needed at closing, projected loan balances and ongoing expenses. Review the choices with your lender, independent counselor and other advisers as appropriate.
