not available to most borrowers. The best way to find what your

or fill out our quick application. Since
rates change daily, be sure to secure a rate lock-in when you

This is
the most common type of mortgage program. It is called a "fixed
mortgage" because your monthly payments for interest and
principal never change. Property taxes and homeowners insurance
may increase, but generally your monthly payments will be very
stable for the duration of the loan.
The
30 year fixed mortgage is usually what people think of
when they of think mortgages. This type of financing has long
been the most popular loan type here in the United States. In
other counties the adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) is the conventional
norm. In Canada for example, most fixed year financing can not
be extended past 10 years when the loan will then be adjustable
for the remainder of the term (often 25 years).
Fixed-rate
mortgages are not just available for 30 years. They can be issued
for 20 years, 15 years and even 10 years. There are also "bi-weekly"
mortgages, which shorten the loan by calling for half the monthly
payment every two weeks. (Since there are 52 weeks in a year,
you make 26 payments, or 13 "months" worth, every year).
Fixed
rate fully amortizing loans have two distinct features. First,
the interest rate remains fixed for the life of the loan. Secondly,
the payments remain level for the life of the loan and are structured
to repay the loan at the end of the loan term. The most common
fixed rate loans are 15 year and 30-year mortgages.
During
the early amortization period, a large percentage of the monthly
payment is used for paying the interest. As the loan is paid down,
more of the monthly payment is applied to principal. In the first
couple of years amost all of the monthy payment goes to interest
and in the last couple of years of the loan, almost all of the
monthy payment goes to paying off the pricipal. A typical 30-year
fixed rate mortgage takes 22.5 years of level payments to pay
half of the original loan amount.
If
the 30 year fixed mortgage is standard, why do we offer other
types of home financing? Not everyone is in the same
boat when it comes to financial situations and not everyone is
buying a home for the same reasons. Since the 30-year fixed programs
do not fit the needs for everyone, we have multiple programs for
the whole range of homeowner. We have programs for Investment
property, seconds homes, short-term starter homes and the list
go on.
