Comments on: 30-Year Fixed-Rate Mortgage Rate Fell to Record Low – Chart of the Day http://www.thesunsfinancialdiary.com/charts/30-year-fixed-rate-mortgage-rate-fell-record-chart-day/ Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:42:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jackson bournehttp://www.thesunsfinancialdiary.com/charts/30-year-fixed-rate-mortgage-rate-fell-record-chart-day/#comment-63942 Jackson bourne Tue, 23 Nov 2010 12:34:43 +0000 http://www.thesunsfinancialdiary.com/?p=3579#comment-63942 So in general 30 yr fixed rate is lower than 15 yr. If I was planning to pay off the mortgage in 15 years anyway, would it make sense to get a 30 yr mortgage at a lower rate and pay it off in 15 years? what's the catch? Would I end up paying more or less? please help me understand, thanks... So in general 30 yr fixed rate is lower than 15 yr.

Because home prices have fallen so much, we do not want to refinance because we not longer have that 20% equity needed to bypass the mandatory insurance lenders want.
