The Good Stuff

Here are the top perks you may expect if you select a fixed-rate mortgage as your home loan choice.

No Surprises

Even though the housing market carries some element of unpredictability, your interest rates do not have to. Should interest rates spike, a fixed-rate mortgage means your rate is stable. If only everything in life was this predictable. See today's fixed rates now.

Budgeting Made Easy

With fixed rates come fixed payments allowing you to easily budget for your home payment. They're great for first time homebuyers used to budgeting for set monthly rent payments, because they minimize confusion and stress from monthly bills.

Help For The Cash Strapped

If you don't have a lot of cash to put down on your home, a fixed-rate mortgage allows you to purchase a new abode for very little down. Also, sellers, builders and others can pitch in and help cover some of the closing costs – another perk of this home loan.

Flexibility In Terms

Don't let the word "fixed" scare you. With M&T Bank's MyTerms loan, you choose the term of your loan. Want to retire mortgage-free in 17 years? You can set the repayment term of your loan to match your goals.

Inflation Insulation

When inflation rises, rates typically follow. Locking into a fixed rate can give you a hedge against future inflation and help fortify your investment portfolio by protecting what will likely be your biggest investment of all.
