Who it's for

Buyers who want a predictable payment and plan to stay in the home for a while.

How it works

  1. You pick a term, most often 30 or 15 years.
  2. The rate is locked before closing and never changes.
  3. Your principal-and-interest payment stays the same every month; taxes and insurance can still change.

What you'll need

  • Two years of employment or income history
  • Recent pay stubs, W-2s or tax returns, and bank statements
  • A credit history that fits the program

Common questions

Is a shorter term always better?

A shorter term means less total interest but a higher monthly payment. Whether that trade is right depends on your budget and how long you'll keep the home.

Can I pay it off early?

Yes. Conventional fixed-rate loans we arrange have no prepayment penalty.
