Affordability Shifts

When your budget changes, your mortgage options might too

Life happens—income grows, expenses shift, or your financial priorities change. The good news is that your mortgage doesn't have to stay frozen in place. Whether you've had a raise, paid down other debt, or your situation has simply evolved, it's worth checking in on what you qualify for now versus when you first borrowed. You might have access to programs, terms, or payment structures that weren't right for you before but could work beautifully today. There's no obligation in exploring what's possible. I'm here to show you your real options based on where you are right now.

Let's talk about whether a change might make sense for your situation.

Tips for Homeowners

Year-End Tax & Mortgage Planning

1.

Consider making your January mortgage payment in December to get an extra month of deductible interest in the current tax year (consult your tax advisor first).

2.

If you plan to sell next year, now is a good time to document improvements — receipts and records add to your cost basis and reduce taxable capital gain at sale.

3.

Review your W-4 withholding if you bought a home this year — your mortgage interest deduction may mean you're having too much withheld from each paycheck.

Have questions about how any of this affects your mortgage or home purchase? We're here to help — reach out to the My Mortgage Company team any time and we'll walk you through your options.
