Consumers often mistake the lowest advertised interest rate for the best deal due to hidden fees and discount points. A better approach is to request no-cost mortgage quotes—rates that include no upfront lender fees or points—which level the playing field and reveal true pricing.

By comparing the same no-cost terms across lenders, borrowers can identify those offering the strongest interest rates and avoid misleadingly low "as low as" offers. Request a written loan estimate or fee worksheet if a lender cannot provide a no-cost quote.

Once a shortlist of competitive lenders is formed, evaluate trade-offs between paying points for a lower rate and the expected time in the home. Payback timelines may be longer in today’s environment with higher home prices and loan amounts, so choose a structure that aligns with your occupancy timeline and financial goals.

This method ensures borrowers compare total cost, not just advertised rates, and can leverage multiple credible quotes to negotiate better pricing.

Global shipping majors are advancing billions in decarbonization investments despite a one-year delay in the IMO’s proposed $380-per-ton carbon levy, according to Reuters analysis and interviews with 15 companies. Newbuilding orders for dual-fuel LNG, methanol and ammonia vessels have outpaced traditional ships, with dual-fuel container and vehicle carrier orders reaching 74% of the orderbook by December 2025. Cumulative investments in dual-fuel vessels totaled over $150 billion, and 1,126 such ships have been delivered or are on order.

EU FuelEU Maritime and ETS penalties, along with initiatives in Djibouti, Gabon and proposed UK schemes, are driving the shift.

Assemblymember John Harabedian (D-Pasadena) introduces AB 1847 and AB 1842 to extend mortgage relief for L.A. wildfire survivors. AB 1847 triples AB 238 relief from 12 to 36 months, allowing repayment via loan deferrals rather than lump sums, with applications due by Jan 7, 2029. AB 1842 creates a statewide emergency relief framework, requiring servicers to monthly report DFPI on requests and allowing borrowers to sue for violations.

The legislation aligns with the multi-year rebuilding timeline following the 2023 fires that killed at least 31 and damaged or destroyed over 18,000 homes. DFPI has resolved 92% of 233 AB 238 complaints, but enforcement actions remain pending.

Effective immediately, the AB 238 amendments seek to provide flexibility in forbearance repayment and prohibit late fees, foreclosures, and negative credit reporting, addressing gaps in compliance highlighted by survivors.
