Fixed Rate Mortgages
+
Conventional fixed-rate mortgages offer homebuyers a stable interest rate and set payments over the life of their loan. If you are looking for a non-fluctuating mortgage payment, a fixed-rate mortgage may be right for you.
With a fixed rate you can have a monthly payment that fits your budget and doesn’t change for the life of the mortgage. A variety of fixed rate terms are available.
