The federal Interagency Task Force on Fair Lending has published a brochure for consumers Looking for Looking for

 the Best Mortgage: Shop, Compare, Negotiate. The brochure notes that shopping around for a home loan or mortgage is similar to shopping for a car--consumers should obtain information on all costs of the loan and negotiate for the best deal.

The brochure describes how comparing and negotiating interest rates, fees, and other payment terms on loans may help consumers get the best financing and possibly save thousands of dollars, whether it is a home purchase loan, a refinancing Refinancing

, or a home equity loan. It advises consumers to do the following:

* Obtain information from several lenders

* Make sure to obtain all important cost information

* Negotiate for the best deal.

For example, the brochure notes that on any given day, lenders and brokers may offer different prices for the same loan to different consumers, even if consumers have the same loan qualifications. These different prices may result because loan officers and brokers are often allowed to keep some or all of the difference between the lowest available price and any higher price that the consumer agrees to pay. This compensation arrangement helps explain why it is important for consumers to ask questions about costs and negotiate for the best deal. The brochure contains a worksheet See spreadsheet.

 consumers can use to compare costs while shopping. The worksheet lists commonly charged fees and closing costs Closing Costs

The numerous expenses (over and above the price of the property) that buyers and sellers normally incur to complete a real estate transaction. Costs incurred include loan origination fee, discount points, appraisal fee, title search, title insurance, survey, taxes,
 and includes a useful list of questions consumers may wish to ask lenders when they shop for a loan.

The brochure outlines common sources for home loans and explains the difference between rates, points, and fees. It highlights some of the laws that protect consumers from unfair lending practices. It also emphasizes that even consumers with past credit problems should shop around and negotiate for the best deal. Finally, the brochure includes a mortgage loan shopping form that consumers can use to record loan data quoted by two or more lenders or brokers and then compare that data to help identify or negotiate the best deal.

Measures of the money stock were revised in February of this year to incorporate the results of the annual benchmark A performance test of hardware and/or software.

The revisions had no effect on the annual growth rate of M2 over 1998, but they raised the annual growth rate of M1 by 0.1 percentage point and lowered that of M3 by 0.1 percentage point over the past year.

The benchmark incorporates minor revisions to data reported on the weekly and quarterly deposit reports, and it takes account of deposit data from call reports for banks and thrift institutions Thrift institution

 that are not weekly or quarterly deposit reporters. These revisions to deposit data start in 1992. The benchmark also incorporates historical data for a number of money market mutual funds that began reporting for the first time during 1998, raising the level of M3 over the years by amounts that cumulate to $5 billion by the end of 1998. Historical revisions have also been made to repurchase agreement Repurchase agreement
