  • Homebuying Resources How Much Interest do I Save by Paying Extra Towards my Mortgage?
    October 13, 2022
    How often do we make a 30-year commitment? A partner? Our children? A career? For majority of us, 30 years sounds like an eternity. In terms of purchasing a home, a 15-year loan is a bit more comforting over a 30-year: lower interest rates, and of course, cutting the time frame of paying off your mortgage in half. On the flip side, the downfall of a 15-year fixed mortgage is committing to the higher monthly payments. “What if I can’t pay it?” is a common worry in case an event occurs, and the homeowner cannot pay their mortgage. For many home buyers, a 30-year fixed mortgage is the safest bet, even though they trade a lower payment to more interest overtime and double the commitment.
