fixed-rate
Stable interest terms
Fixed-rate describes a financial arrangement where the interest rate remains constant throughout the term, as opposed to adjusting with market conditions.
A fixed-rate mortgage locks in the same monthly payment for the life of the loan.
Fixed-rate loans offer predictability but may cost more if market rates fall.
