fixed-rate mortgages
Steady payment housing-debt
Fixed-rate mortgages are home loans where the interest rate remains constant throughout the loan's duration, typically 15 or 30 years.
Unlike adjustable-rate mortgages, monthly payments stay predictable regardless of market fluctuations: They chose a fixed-rate mortgage to lock in the low rate.
The stability appeals to borrowers who prioritize budgeting certainty over potential savings from falling rates.
