Fixed-Rate Mortgage

Benefits of a Fixed Mortgage Rate

Most prospective homeowners take out loans when they are ready to make a purchase. The fixed-rate mortgage is the most popular type of loan because it offers several advantages over adjustable-rate mortgages and balloon mortgages. Here are the three most important benefits of choosing a fixed-rate mortgage.

Simplicity

The fixed-rate is simple to obtain because most lenders offer them. It’s also easy to understand the terms associated with this type of loan. Your lender will tell you how much your monthly payment is going to be as well as how much interest you will pay out on the loan over the full term.

Consistency

With this type of home loan, the monthly payments are identical. From the first payment until the final one, you are going to pay the exact same amount. The only variation to this scenario is when you put extra money into the payment to go toward the balance of the loan.

Options

Fixed-rates are available in several terms, including 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 years. The 30-year mortgage is the most popular option. Terms of 10, 40, and 50 years are rarely chosen. The longer the term for the mortgage is, the smaller the monthly payment is going to be. However, longer terms also mean a higher amount of interest is collected over the life of the loan.

If you are buying a home, the fixed-rates is a good option. It provides a clear-cut way to pay off your debt. The interest rate and payments never change unless you refinance the loan or prepay a portion of the principal.

When you need a mortgage to purchase your home, it is always a good idea to shop around. Depending on your down payment, credit score and financial strength, different lenders offer different loan packages. So interview two to three lenders before you make your lender selection, you might be able to save a reasonable amount of money on your monthly mortgage payment.
