What is a fixed-rate mortgage?
A fixed-rate mortgage is exactly that. A mortgage with an interest rate that is fixed and stays the same throughout the term of your loan. It offers you consistency to help make it easier to set up your budget.
With a fixed-rate mortgage, the amount you pay toward the mortgage itself, the part that’s made up of your principal and interest, won’t change. Fixed-rate mortgages are a good choice if you think interest rates will rise and you want to keep the current market rate. In addition, if you see yourself staying in your home for a long time, are on a fixed income, and don’t expect to refinance, a fixed-rate mortgage may be the right option for you.

4 WISH program is not available in all counties. Loans subject to credit and collateral approval. Terms and conditions are subject to change. Enrollment in the WISH Program is not a guarantee to the homebuyer of receipt of funds. The grant recipients must sign a Promissory Note, Deed of Trust and Rider to the Deed of Trust and there will be a lien placed against the subject property for the amount of the grant that will remain on the property for five years. The amount owed will decrease by 20% for each year the borrower retains homeownership of the property as their primary residence. No payments toward the grant are due as long as the homebuyer resides in the property and abides by the terms of the grant. After five (5) years, the grant is forgiven, and the lien is released from the property. This is a fixed-rate loan with fixed monthly principal and interest payments for the life of the loan. Loan amounts available up to $726,200 on 1-unit properties. Mortgage insurance is required for loans exceeding 80% LTV.
