🔒 Fixed-Rate vs Variable-Rate Mortgage: Which Is Better for You?

Looking for a mortgage but not sure which type is best? Choosing between a fixed-rate mortgage and a variable-rate mortgage can feel overwhelming—but we’re here to make it simple.

🏠 What Is a Fixed-Rate Mortgage?

  • Your interest rate stays the same for the term of the loan
  • Monthly payments are consistent
  • Ideal for stability and long-term planning

📌 Great for first-time buyers or families who need predictability in their budget.

📉 What Is a Variable-Rate Mortgage?

  • Your interest rate changes based on the market
  • Monthly payments can go up or down
  • Often starts with a lower rate than fixed

📌 Great for those who can tolerate risk and want to save upfront.

✅ Fixed-Rate Pros:

  • Predictable monthly payments
  • Protection from interest rate hikes
  • Peace of mind in volatile markets

⚠️ Fixed-Rate Cons:

  • Slightly higher starting rate
  • No benefit if interest rates drop

✅ Variable-Rate Pros:

  • Lower initial payments
  • Chance to save if interest rates fall

⚠️ Variable-Rate Cons:

  • Payments may increase
  • Harder to budget long-term

🤔 So, Which Is Better?

If you want security, go fixed.
If you’re open to market fluctuations, go variable.
