15-Year Fixed

15-Year Fixed Mortgage

A 15-year mortgage is appealing to borrowers who want to pay their loan off ASAP. For the lowest rates, you’ll need a 740+ credit score.

Not only do you pay your loan off faster, but you also pay less interest over the life of the loan.

Besides a shorter term, this type of fixed mortgage gives you peace of mind that your payment will remain the same (unless your taxes or insurance change).

Are 15-year fixed mortgages popular?

Yes, this type of mortgage is especially popular with borrowers planning on retiring within the next 15 years.
