Financing & mortgages
What types of mortgages are there?
The short answer
The main categories are fixed-rate loans (a steady payment for the life of the loan), adjustable-rate loans (a lower initial rate that can change), and government-backed programs designed for specific buyers. Terms commonly run 15 or 30 years. Ava, our financing expert, explains the trade-offs of each for your goals and time horizon.
