Fixed-Rate Mortgage Loan from American Federal Credit Union in Utah

 

Buying a house is a big decision, but you don’t have to make it alone. At American United Federal Credit Union, we’re always by your side to help. One popular option for buying the home of your dreams is a fixed-rate mortgage.

 

What Is a Fixed Rate Mortgage?

A fixed interest rate loan is a type of long-term loan used to purchase a home. Some types of financing for business owners and individuals have variable interest rates. That means the amount of interest you owe can change over time, possibly resulting in larger monthly payments.

Fixed-rate mortgages work differently. Instead of calculating interest rates periodically based on market conditions, these home loans lock in your preferred rate from the start. No matter what happens with market rates, you always pay the same amount each month.

Homebuyers have several options for fixed-rate financing, including 15-, 20- and 30-year mortgages. We’re flexible, so we can help you find the right fit for your lifestyle.

 

What Are the Advantages of Fixed Rate Mortgages?

There are many reasons why fixed interest rates are an excellent choice for home buyers.

  • Stable monthly payments: It’s easier to plan your monthly budget if you know exactly how much your mortgage payments are.
  • Permanent interest rates: No matter what happens with the market, your interest rate is locked in.
  • No prepayment penalties: Fixed-rate mortgages usually don’t have any prepayment penalties. You can set aside a little extra each month and reduce the total number of payments.
  • Balanced principal payments: With this kind of financing, you pay off your principal, not just interest.
    The best fixed-rate mortgage term depends on your financial goals. There’s usually a trade-off between the length of term and total interest paid.
