Rates by loan type
15-Year Fixed mortgage rates in Michigan
The 15-year fixed prices roughly three-quarters of a point below the 30-year and cuts lifetime interest by more than half — if you can carry the bigger payment.
On a $200,000 loan, moving from a 30- to a 15-year term raises the payment by roughly $450/month but saves over $100,000 in interest at current rates. It suits refinancers who are several years into a 30-year loan and don't want to reset the clock.
Credit unions are unusually competitive on 15-year terms in Michigan — Lake Michigan Credit Union and DFCU Financial frequently undercut national lenders here.

Why is my quoted rate different from the average?
