Common Questions About 30-Year Mortgage Rates

In this section, we’ll explain the ins and outs of a 30-year mortgage so you can decide whether this type of loan is right for you as you purchase your next home or refinance your existing loan.

  • What is a 30-year mortgage?

    A 30-year mortgage is exactly what it sounds like: a loan for the purchase of a home with a term of 30 years (or 360 monthly payments). Many people choose this type of loan because of its length and the smaller monthly payments that come with it as opposed to those with a shorter term, such as a 15-year mortgage.

  • Who is a 30-year mortgage best for?

    For those who plan to stay in their homes for many years and who seek lower monthly payments spread out over a longer period of time, a 30-year mortgage is generally the best solution. Note that because it has a longer lifetime than a 15-year loan, a 30-year mortgage requires the payment of more interest over time, adding to the overall amount paid on the loan.

  • Are 30-year mortgage rates lower than 15-year mortgage rates?

    30-year mortgage rates can be higher than the ones found for 15-year loans. This is because the length of the loan is twice as long, but the tradeoff for many is that the monthly payments are generally lower. Learn more about 15-year mortgage rates
