New Free Online Tools Make Accurate Mortgage Calculations a Few Clicks Away for New Homebuyers

New free on-line mortgage calculators give homebuyers detailed calculations at their finger tips. Calculations include taxes, insurance, PMI, closing cost and pre-paids for all 50 states. The perfect tool for homebuyers that are not financially savy, or lack mortgage knowledge.

(PRWEB) August 8, 2006 --Most new homebuyers have no finance background and little experience with mortgage loans, yet bank and mortgage brokers treat their online customers as expert Loan Officers. Today’s online mortgage tools are completely inadequate and assume the user knows the intricacies of the mortgage business. New tools developed by The Mortgage Toolbox eliminates the 'guessing game' that occurs with those other so-called 'free sites', and allows consumers to find real answers about their home financing options.

I always thought ‘zero down’ meant no money out of my pocket. I was wrong

It was very beneficial to me to see the actual cost of buying a home, and how much my total payment was going to run each month. I recently visited a popular online site and just used the default values and their figures didn’t give me the whole picture. I would have been in for a rude awakening when I tried to buy a house

According to an industry survey1, 3 out 4 homebuyers will conduct their own research on the Internet regarding their finance options before talking to their bank, or local loan officer. When the user finds an online site that offers a free mortgage calculation tool, they produce either grossly inaccurate results, or no results at all in the following categories:

1)   The “Total Payment” including property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)
2)   Closing Cost totals
3)   Cash to Close totals
4)   Maximum Purchase Price

With so many consumers doing their own research online, it’s vital that they’re given mortgage tools that provide a true reflection of their cost and total payment when buying a new home.

A consumer who recently used our tools raved about the benefit of calculating accurate figures before she started looking for a new home. “I always thought ‘zero down’ meant no money out of my pocket. I was wrong,” says Catherine Raiford of Houston, Texas. “It was very beneficial to me to see the actual cost of buying a home, and how much my total payment was going to run each month. I recently visited a popular online site and just used the default values and their figures didn’t give me the whole picture. I would have been in for a rude awakening when I tried to buy a house,” Catherine advises.
