Fixed Rate Mortgage
Scott English, Mortgage Broker, NMLS#133064
A fixed rate mortgage is the most popular choice for homeowners because of its uncomplicated and affordable nature.
With a fixed rate mortgage, the interest rate does not change during the entire duration of the loan term, which is typically 30 years. Borrowers do not need to worry about their monthly payments increasing due to rising mortgage rates if they are locked in with a 30-year fixed rate mortgage.
One concern, however, with a 30-year fixed mortgage rate is that it does come at premium in comparison to other loan types in exchange for this assurance.
What Do I Need to Know About a Fixed Rate Mortgage?
Key points for a fixed rate mortgage:
- Interest rate that never changes throughout the entire loan term
- No surprise increases in monthly payments
- The benefit of a 30-year fixed rate can mean paying a higher rate at the outset
Since fixed rate mortgages are not variable-rate loans, there is no associated mortgage indexes, margins or caps. Monthly principal and interest mortgage payments remain constant throughout the loan term until it is paid off.
What Mortgage Term Is Best For Me?
Longer Term
- Lower Monthly Payment
- More Interest Paid
- Higher Interest Rate
Shorter Term
- Higher Monthly Payment
- Less Interest Paid
- Lower Interest Rate
Your mortgage payment and the amount of interest you pay will be determined by the term of your mortgage.
For example, a 15-year mortgage would be paid off in half the time of a 30-year mortgage, so the monthly payment will be significantly higher. It won’t necessarily be twice the amount of a 30-year because the borrower pays less interest over a shorter amount of time, but it will still be much higher.
In general, a 15-year mortgage would amount to about 1.5X the mortgage payment amount of a 30-year term mortgage.
It is widely suggested to decide on a term before shopping so that you can find the right loan program that fits your budget and financial situation.
