Choosing the right mortgage type is one of the most important decisions when buying a home. Here’s a breakdown of the two main types of loans:
🏡 Fixed-Rate Mortgage (FRM)
✔ The interest rate stays the same for the entire loan term (15, 20, or 30 years).
✔ Predictable monthly payments make budgeting easier.
✔ Best for buyers who plan to stay in their home long-term.
🏡 Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)
✔ The interest rate starts low but can change after a few years.
✔ Initial lower rates may be ideal for short-term homeowners.
✔ Best for those who plan to sell or refinance within a few years.
📌 Which Loan is Right for You?
- If you want stability, a fixed-rate mortgage is your best choice
- If you plan to move or refinance in a few years, an ARM might be worth considering.
