Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans - Understand the Pros and Cons of the Fixed Rate Mortgage


There are many benefits and drawbacks to consider when deciding if a fixed rate mortgage is right for you. It is important to look at all options when it comes to something as important as getting a mortgage for your new home.

There are a few benefits to fixed rate mortgages. One benefit is that the rates and payments remain constant. There won't be any surprises even if inflation surges out of control and mortgage rates head to 20%. This kind of stability makes budgeting easier. People can manage their money with more certainty because their housing expenses won't change. Fixed rate mortgages are simple to understand making them appealing and good for first time buyers. Also longer term fixed rate mortgages are very affordable.

There are also a few drawbacks to fixed rate mortgages. To take advantage of falling rates, mortgage holders would have to refinance. That can mean a few thousand dollars in closing costs, another trip to the title company's office and several hours spent digging up tax forms, bank statements etc. Fixed rate mortgages can be too expensive for some borrowers, especially in high rate environments, because there is no early on payment and rate break like there is with adjustable rate mortgages. Fixed rate mortgages are practically identical from lender to lender. While lenders keep many adjustable rate mortgages on their books, most financial institutions sell their fixed rate mortgages.

There are a few other important questions you should make sure you have answers to when deciding which type of mortgage is better for you. How long do you plan on staying in the home? How frequently does the adjustable rate mortgage adjust, and when is the adjustment made? What's the interest rate environment like? Could you still afford your monthly payment if interest rates rise significantly? Do you know the main pros and cons for each type of loan?

Generally, fixed-rate mortgages are a safer way for first time home buyers to get a mortgage. There is greater stability and less risk involved. It is easy to budget and regulate your expenses when you know exactly what your interest rate will be.
