25 Year Morgage: This is a traditional Fixed Rate Loan that is amortized at a term of 25 years (300 Months). This means that you will make the same monthly payment for 300 Months and your last payment will have paid off the entire balance of the loan. At that point you will own your home completely.
The 25 yr Term is offered by most lenders at an interest rate that is identical to that of the 30 yr Term. So the primary advantage of securing a 25 yr Term is that you will cut off 5 years of interest payments. This is particularly important to homeowners that have been in their homes for a few years and do not want to 'start all over' with a new 30 yr Term.
Here's a comparison between these two loans. A 30 yr Term on a $350,000 Loan at 6.375% would cost $786,076 over the life of the loan. With a 25 yr Term on a $350,000 Loan at 6.375% you would spend $700,788 over its lifetime. This is a savings of over $85,287 in comparison to the 30 yr Term. These savings are considered to by the primary advantage by people that select the 25 Year Morgage Term.
