Here’s Why Homeowners Urged to Switch to a 15-Year Fixed

One of our partners, Quicken Loans®, has been urging homeowners to switch to a 15-year fixed mortgage. If the largest mortgage lender in the U.S.,1 not to mention the highest-ranked for Primary Mortgage Origination 11 years in a row and Mortgage Servicing 7 years in a row, is saying this, we thought it was worth looking into.

Why Should You Switch To A 15-Year Fixed?

There are two main reasons. The first is that you could save up to $71,7002 in interest payments over the life of your loan by switching. To find out exactly how much you could save, tap here, enter the information needed to calculate your new house payment and get a free quote from a Quicken Loans mortgage expert.

The second reason is that you can eliminate years of mortgage payments. If you are over 35, this could be very valuable for you. Because a 15-year fixed is paid off years sooner than a 30-year, it means you could pay off your home before you retire.

Are There Any Downsides?

The typical downside of switching to a shorter mortgage is that your monthly payments will go up, but with rates currently near-historic lows, this may or may not be the case for you. Given how much you could be saving at today’s rates by switching, we think it’s worth taking a couple minutes to fill out Quicken Loans simple online mortgage experience to get a quote from one of their experts.

If, after getting your quote, you see that your mortgage payments would stay the same or even go down, then it’s a no-brainer; switching is probably a great idea. If it would slightly increase, compare the overall savings against the increased monthly payment and decide what is best for you.
