The Lowdown on 15 Year Fixed Mortgages

A 15-year fixed-rate mortgage lets you own your home free and clear in half the time of a traditional 30-year loan. These loans typically come with lower interest rates, meaning you save significantly on total interest over the life of the loan.

While monthly payments are higher than a 30-year mortgage, the accelerated equity building and interest savings make this an excellent choice for borrowers who can afford the higher payments.

This option is perfect for refinancers who want to pay off their home faster, or buyers with higher incomes looking to build wealth more quickly through homeownership.
