Fixed rate mortgages are traditionally fully amortized loans designed to offer a consistent rate over the term of your mortgage. A typical fixed rate mortgage is amortized over a fixed term of 15, 20, or 30 years.
With a fixed rate mortgage, homeowners know exactly what their payments will be every month and how long it will take to pay off the loan with regular set payments. This makes fixed rate home loans the most popular type of mortgage throughout Maryland and Virginia.
