Q: Why do most homebuyers prefer a fixed-rate mortgage?
A: Long-term, fixed-rate mortgages are preferred by most homebuyers
because they offer security and stability. The interest rate does not
fluctuate over the life of the loan, so the total amount of principal
and interest always remains the same. The monthly payment can change,
however, if local property taxes, which are normally part of the monthly
mortgage payment, increase.
