Smart Money Tip: Is A 15 Year Mortgage Better?

Matt Burns — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 17:00:18 +0000

As the country continues to struggle with a questionable economy and home sales falter, many families are finding that they are needing to live in their current home longer than they originally planned. But with mortgage rates at historic all-time lows, refinancing is an appealing option to minimize the frustration of staying put.

For decades the 30 year loan has been the go-to mortgage product for millions of home-owning families. But in this day and age, is it still the right decision? Our financial experts from RAI Advisors weigh in on the question. So which is better, a 15 year or a 30 year mortgage?

RAI Advisors Answer: For most families a 30 year mortgage is still the best option. First, a 30 year plan allows you to make a lower payment each year with dollars that are worth less each year due to inflation. Second, a 15 year plan will have a lower rate, but the 30 year plan will offer a greater tax deduction over 15 years. And finally, the lower payment afforded by a 30 year plan will provide more liquidity and a opportunity to save the difference in payments each month.

In the end, we believe that the savy saver will come out way ahead over 15 years if they have the discipline to save this difference each month. But a 15 year plan might make sense for someone nearing retirement on a fixed income. In the end, we suggest that you consult with your personal financial advisor to address your individual situation so that you can make the right decision for your family.
