When we bought our home a few years ago, Citizens was about 1/2% higher than other banks. We went with another bank. We planned on paying off our mortgage within a couple years anyways, but if you hold the mortgage to a 30 year term, for example, that's an extra $18,000 added to the cost of your home if you're paying $50/month more. All I can say is, there are a lot of nice pre-owneds around, truly!
