Mortgage Options:

Fixed-Rate Mortgage Options

Predictable monthly payments

What people generally like most about a fixed-rate mortgage is that they will know exactly what their mortgage payment will be each month for the entire term of the loan. That is, the payment of interest and principal stays steady because the interest rate is fixed for the life of the loan.

Show Advantages of a fixed-rate mortgage

Fixed-rate mortgages are a good choice if you:

  • Think interest rates could rise in the next few years and want to keep the current rate.
  • Plan to stay in your house for many years.
  • Prefer the stability of a fixed principal/interest payment to a payment that changes periodically (which is what happens with an adjustable-rate mortgage)

Qualifying for a longer-term loan can often be easier than for a shorter-term loan, because you do not need as much income.

 

Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Options

Lower initial interest

You can save at the start of your loan with an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) loan. ARM loans provide a low interest rate for an initial payment period, making the initial monthly payments less than those a fixed-rate mortgage usually offers.

 
What do you want to learn about ARMs?
 
How an adjustable-rate mortgage impacts payments

After the lower initial rate period, the ARM loan's interest rate will adjust to a fully indexed rate, and it is likely that your rate and your payments will increase. If the rate goes up after the initial period, your monthly payments go up, so you want to be financially prepared to make larger payments.

 
ARM loans are available for various terms, with 30 and 15 years  being popular choices. In addition to the term, ARMs have different

options for how long the initial interest rate will last before the rate can start to adjust. So, for example, you could get a 7/1 ARM, and your interest rate and payment would stay the same for 7 years before being open to annual adjustment.

 
When you consider ARM loans, find out how and when your rate can change, because those factors will determine how much your monthly payment is.
