Are you planning to buy or sell a home this year? Your tax refund could be a helpful starting point! Here are just a few ideas to move you towards your goals.

• Use your refund to save for a down payment on a new home or for necessary repairs before listing your current one.
• Save your refund to help pay closing costs, title and escrow fees, commissions and other costs associated with buying or selling.
• If purchasing, buy down your interest rate by paying upfront to lower the rate on your fixed-rate mortgage.
