Your financial situation and goals have a lot to do with the interest rate you’re offered. Beware of ads for unusually low rates–there’s probably a catch! Will you be best served with a 30-year fixed rate, 15-year, or adjustable-rate mortgage? Are “points” a smart option for you? Your Thompson Kane loan officer will design a solution with your goals in mind, not theirs.

When you get a fixed rate mortgage your interest rate won’t change unless you refinance. The 15-year mortgage is a popular choice for those who don’t mind a higher monthly payment in exchange for a lower interest rate and early payoff date. Click for more about fixed-rate mortgages!

An adjustable rate mortgage, or ARM, (also called variable-rate mortgage), offers a lower interest rate for the first stage of the loan. After the fixed stage of the loan, interest rates can fluctuate along with the economy and the cost of borrowing, causing your monthly payment to change periodically.
