Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good mortgage rate?
Rates shift with market conditions, your credit profile, and the loan product you choose. In 2026, 30-year rates have generally run in the 6-7% range. Reach out to a lender to get a quote tailored to your situation.
How much down payment do I need?
Most conventional loans call for 5-20% down. FHA financing can go as low as 3.5%. Putting more down lowers your monthly obligation and can remove the PMI requirement entirely.
What is included in my monthly mortgage payment?
A standard mortgage payment covers principal, interest, property taxes, and homeowners insurance — often referred to as PITI. If your down payment is under 20%, PMI may be added to the monthly total as well.
Should I choose a 15-year or 30-year mortgage?
The 15-year option means higher monthly payments but you pay significantly less in total interest. The 30-year term keeps monthly costs lower and preserves cash flow flexibility. Let your long-term financial plan guide the decision.
