15-Year Mortgages
With today's low interest rates, more borrowers find shorter-term options affordable. If you can afford higher monthly payments, a 15-year mortgage is a great option. Why?
- Earlier freedom from mortgage payments
- Immense interest savings
Payments on a 15-year mortgage are not necessarily much higher than a 30-year, and the total cost savings is tremendous. Take a look at this example: For a $100,000 Mortgage at 6.5% interest, here is the break-down:
| 15-Year Mortgage |
30-year Mortgage |
| $871 monthly payment |
$632 monthly payment |
| $56,820 total interest paid |
$127,622 total interest paid |
The 15-year mortgage would save you $70,802 in interest payments!
Home Equity Loans and Lines of Credit
Need to update your home, consolidate debt, or make a large purchase? Borrowing against your home’s equity might be the most economical choice. We offer two options: loans and lines of credit.
- A home equity loan, also known as a second mortgage, has a fixed rate for a set dollar amount and a 15-year term. The interest on these loans is usually tax-deductible. Home equity loans with the credit union offer low closing costs and excellent rates.
- A line of credit can be tapped as needed, up to a maximum amount in a 15-year period. The interest rate is variable. Money can be accessed for the first 7 years, and the remaining 8 years would be used to pay off the borrowed amount. Home equity lines of credit also have excellent rates and closing costs that are often slightly lower than the same amount borrowed as a home equity loan.
