One might think that South Dakotas real estate market is fairly slow. Despite its relatively isolated position, though, South Dakota has an interesting luxury real estate market. Communities in the Black Hills, as well as real estate in Sturgis Rally (of biker fame), are finding that people do want homes in these areas. And, with prices ranging from right around $100,000 to more than $400,000, you are likely to find something in your price range. Additionally, interest rates are relatively low, mostly under six percent for regular loans and just barely above six percent for jumbo loans. Chances are, you can get a South Dakota home mortgage loan that fits your needs as long as you move beyond these three mortgage loan myths:

1.Good credit is necessary to get a home loan.

This is false. While this was true 20 years ago, now there are ways to get a home mortgage loan even with poor credit. It is possible to find mortgage brokers that specialize in bad credit home loans, and they can usually help you find a lender that will underwrite your mortgage loan. However, you will likely have to pay a higher interest rate.

2.The lowest interest rate makes the best mortgage loan.

While a low interest rate can mean the cheapest home loan, it can also be a lure. Dont choose your mortgage loan on interest rate alone; look at other fees. Lenders with rates that are significantly lower than their competitors rates are usually making up for artificially low rates with higher points and closing costs.

3.Mortgage loan brokers are only for people with poor credit.

In actuality, mortgage brokers work for people of all credit situations. While some brokers specialize in helping borrowers with bad credit, borrowers with good credit can also take advantage of a brokers access to a variety of South Dakota home mortgage loan options.
