If you currently have a 30 year mortgage, you may want to consider a 15 year fixed rate because of the huge interest savings over the life of the loan.
For instance, a 30 year mortgage payment for $200,000.00 at 5.5% is $1,135.58 a month for 360 months. The interest paid over 30 years is $208,806.90.
The estimated interest rate for the conforming 15 year fixed over the last few months has been 3.25%. A $200,000.00 mortgage payment at a 15 year fixed rate of 3.25% is $1,405.34 per month. The interest paid over 15 years is $52,962.89.
The interest savings is over $150,000.00!
With the mortgage rates being so low, the average New York or Connecticut home owner may be able to afford a 15 year payment. Especially those homeowners whose rate is 6% or more!
