30 Year Fixed Mortgage Rate Facts
30 year fixed mortgage rates change a lot over time. At the time this article was written some home loans are at their lowest rate for eighteen years and may even continue to fall. It is easy to find average daily home loan rates on the internet, for the whole US., by state and in other countries.
A fixed rate mortgage means that the interest rate will not change for the duration of the loan. Since the rate is currently unusually low, this seems like a good time to get a fixed-rate mortgage, although be careful to check other terms and conditions, as the interest percentage is not the only factor of importance.
This type of home loan is good for people who don\’t like surprises and for those who are likely to stay in the same house for at least 5 years. On the other hand the rate is likely to be slightly more than on an adjustable (variable) home loan and also if the home is sold in less than 5 years there are disadvantages.
The reason for interest rates being low at the time of writing (end of 2009) include the fact that the Federal Reserve put more than a trillion dollars into mortgage-backed securities in order to decrease the interest rate and improve the housing market. While the interest rate is low, the conditions and rules for home loans are currently being applied more exactly than before, plus most of the sub-prime lenders have disappeared. This means that it is currently more difficult for those who have poor credit ratings to get a home loan.
A good way to find out if there might be any sub-prime mortgage lenders still available in your area is to ask your real-estate agent or broker.
One can still get better rates by going to wholesalers rather than retailers however this approach might require a little more homework by the borrower.
30 year fixed mortgage rates are looking good currently, so this type of mortgage might be a good choice for some people.
