It’s winter storm season, and that means millions of homeowners across the country are having to contend with rain, snow, and wind—and, in worst-case scenarios, blackouts. In addition to having a stocked pantry and a survival kit, a generator can be a lifesaver for many homeowners when losing access to power.

When it comes to making the largest purchase of their lives, most homebuyers would prefer to play it safe in choosing a loan.

That’s why fixed-rate mortgages, the gold standard of home loans, have long been the most popular. These 15-, 20-, and 30-year mortgages aren’t exciting. But what they lack in style, they make up for in stability.

Borrowers can lock in the amount of their monthly mortgage payments (minus taxes, insurance, and homeowners association fees) for the duration of their loans. Then they can sleep soundly knowing their housing bills won’t just shoot up at some future date. They’re all set.

However, with the troubling combo of high mortgage interest rates and expensive home prices, many first-time and other buyers are learning they can no longer afford to become homeowners with a fixed-rate mortgage. So they’re looking into other options. And there are plenty out there: adjustable-rate mortgages, interest-only mortgages, 2-1 buydowns.

If a home’s allure was measured by its ability to distract, this one would earn high marks. That’s because more than 50 people showed up for an open house at the Green Bay, WI, abode during a Packers game!
