Description: Loan with an interest rate that’s set for the entire 30 year term.
Best For: Home buyers who want a lower monthly payment resulting from stretching out repayment over a 30 year period. The fixed rate makes the payment predictable.
Description: Loan with an interest rate that’s set for the entire 15 year term.
Best For: Homeowners who want to build equity and pay off the loan faster. Payments are predictable because the interest rate doesn’t change. Higher monthly payment than a 30 year loan, but total interest paid is less.
Description: Loan with an interest rate that can change over the life of the loan.
Best For: Initial rates can often be locked for 1, 5, 7 or 10 years, and then will adjust annually thereafter. This type of loan is best for homeowners who don’t plan on having the mortgage for a long time, or who believe interest rates will be lower in the future.
