What is a 10-year fixed-rate mortgage?
A 10-year fixed-rate mortgage is a home loan where your interest rate is fixed — which means your monthly principal and interest payments will remain constant for the entire 10-year term. This loan allows for faster repayments and greater interest-rate savings than a typical 30-year mortgage, although your payments will be higher due to the shorter term.

Mortgage APR vs Interest rate: How to compare
What is a 10-Year fixed mortgage?
Frequently asked questions
- How does a 10-year fixed-rate mortgage compare to a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage?
A 10-year fixed-rate mortgage has relatively the same advantages and disadvantages as a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage. The most obvious difference is that a 10-year mortgage will have a slightly higher monthly payment over the life of the loan, and you will theoretically pay less in interest compared to a 15-year mortgage.
- How does a 10-year fixed-rate mortgage compare to a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage?
With a 10-year fixed mortgage, you can pay off your home and build equity much faster than with the more common 30-year fixed-rate loan. The interest rate on a 10-year mortgage is typically lower than on a 30-year home loan, and because the money is borrowed over 10 years instead of 30, you pay significantly less interest over time. Keep in mind, with the shorter loan length, monthly payments will be much higher compared to a 30-year loan.
- What factors influence the interest rate I'll receive on a 10-year fixed mortgage?
On a 10-year fixed mortgage, the following factors may influence the interest rate you receive:
- Your credit history
- The size of your down payment
- The value of the home you plan to buy
Remember, 10-year mortgage rates are also influenced by broader market trends like inflation and job growth.
Zillow Home Loans’ loan officers are happy to help talk you through these factors and how they influence the 10-year rate you may receive.
- Can I pay off my 10-year mortgage even faster?
Yes. Zillow Home Loans does not charge prepayment penalties, so you can pay off a 10-year mortgage early and save on interest.
- Will my monthly mortgage payment always be the same with a 10-year fixed-rate mortgage?
Your principal and interest will remain the same over the span of your 10-year mortgage term, making it much easier to predict your monthly payments. Your property taxes and insurance may change annually or bi-annully, which may impact your mortgage payment if they are included.
- Why should I consider Zillow Home Loans for my 10-year mortgage?
