15 Years Fixed Loan Program
A 15-year fixed-rate mortgage offers a lower interest rate than a 30-year or a 20-year mortgage and will save you a significant amount of interest over the life of a loan. You will build up equity in your home quickly, which can allow you to move to a more expensive home sooner. If you are nearing retirement, this shorter-term allows you to own your home sooner.
