HSH continues to innovate using the latest tools and technology. In recent years, our focus has been on bringing professional-level and unique calculators to consumers, including our PMI Cost Calculator, Tri-Refi Calculator, KnowEquity underwater mortgage calculators, Prepayment::Refinance (PreFi) calculator, LowerRate, RoundUp, It's My Term prepayment calculators, FeePayBestWay, Downpayment Decisioner and others.
Our ability to turn raw numbers into valuable information can be seen in each quarter's "Salary you need to buy a home in 50 metro areas", where we dig into home prices, current mortgage rates, tax and insurance costs to provide a solid reckoning of the income needed to buy a median-priced home in major metropolitan areas across the country.
For homeowners, we developed a unique home-value estimator tool called MyHPI using home price data from an authoritative government source, users can calculate what's happened to the value of their home in the time period they have owned it. MyHPI covers 100 metropolitan markets around the country.
