What is a Fixed-Rate Mortgage?

A Fixed-Rate Mortgage features a set interest rate that stays the same through the entire term of the loan.

The rate included on your closing disclosure is the same rate you’ll have for the length of your repayment term, unless you refinance your mortgage.

Two common fixed-rate options are 15- and 30-year mortgages. Unlike some other types of mortgage loans that have variable rates, fixed-rate loans offer more stability and predictability to help you better budget for housing costs.

Pro:
Predictable monthly payments.

Con:
Potential future refinance to take advantage of lower rates.

Best For:
Buyers planning to stay in their homes longer.

Pre-Qualified vs. Pre-Approved: What’s the Difference?

In today’s hyper-competitive market, agents generally require you to be pre-approved prior to showing you properties.
