Fixed Rate Mortgages
With a fixed rate mortgage loan, the interest rate and your mortgage monthly payments remain fixed for the period of the loan. Longer term fixed-rate mortgages are available for 40, 30 and 25 years. Generally, a shorter term loan will provide a lower interest rate. The most popular fixed rate mortgage terms are 30 years. With 30-year fixed rate mortgages your monthly payments are lower than they would be on a shorter term loan.
