Mortgage Rates

A mortgage rate is the interest rate that’s charged on the mortgage loan. This charge represents a percentage of your loan’s total balance and can have either a fixed rate or an adjustable-rate.

With a fixed mortgage rate, the amount in interest you pay will remain the same throughout the entire course of your loan. If you choose an adjustable-rate loan, the rate has the potential to go up or down as the market interest rates change.

When a lender calculates your mortgage rate, personal finances and economic conditions play a role in what the final amount of the loan ends up being. However, mortgage rates are not cut and dry. The employment rate, gross domestic product (GDP) and other economic growth indicators can significantly impact mortgage rates. Greater consumer spending and higher wages follow economic growth, inspiring more consumers to seek mortgage loans for home purchases.

The increase in demand for mortgages can cause rates to soar since lenders only have so much capital when it comes to lending.

Why Take out a Mortgage?

Advantages of a mortgage include:

  • Makes homeownership more affordable: Because you can spread the repayments on your home loan over a more extended period, the amount you’ll pay back can be more affordable and manageable.
  • A cost-effective way of borrowing: A mortgage is a loan secured against your property. For this reason, its interest rates tend to be lower than other forms of borrowing.

CD Rates

A certificate of deposit (CD) rate is a savings account in which you agree not to make any withdrawals for a predetermined amount of time. At the end of this period, you get your money back plus whatever was earned in interest.

A time-bound deposit, a traditional CD allows you to earn interest on your down payment by agreeing to let the lender use that money for a set period. The bank grants you a higher interest rate than they would if you had a standard savings account.

When you first open a CD, you can choose the amount of time you want to give your money to the bank. Common term lengths include three, four, five and six years and six, 12, 18, 24 and 30 months. CD rates can fluctuate based on current interest rates — if current interest rates are high or rising, CD rates will follow suit.

Benefits of Taking out a CD

The benefits of taking out a certificate of deposit include flexible maturity dates, low-to-no fees, safety and invaluable peace of mind when it comes to your money.

Reasons to open a CD may include:

  • You don’t need the money immediately.
  • You want to earn more interest than a regular savings account will pay.
  • You expect to need your money within the next seven years.
