Mortgage rates are something which always flies above my ahead. I don't understand a thing about them. And the calculations, god it's so complex. All these about floating interest rates and fixed rates, oh my god. Anyone else who feels the same about mortgage rates

Well it had been the same for me too until a couple of years back.But then under certain circumstances I had to take upon all these things myself. And so I learned, actually once you understand the basic things about it, it is easy.My mortgage agents are from Safebridge Finances Group and they helped me a great deal in understanding the rates. Typically, floating rate loans will cost less than fixed rate loans. In return for paying a lower loan rate, the borrower takes the interest rate risk: the risk that rates will go up in future. A fixed-rate mortgage is a fully amortizing mortgage loan where the interest rate on the note remains the same through the term of the loan. As a result, payment amounts and the duration of the loan are fixed and the person who is responsible for paying back the loan benefits from a consistent, single payment and the ability to plan a budget based on this fixed cost.
Safebridge’s goal is not to just get you the best rate today but also to help you maintain the “lowest cost of home ownership through out the life or your mortgage”.

I worked for a mortgage banker for 18 years, so I don't find it all that complicated.
