<p>UBS Group AG analysts John Lovallo, Spencer Kaufman, and Matthew Johnson stated that for a 50-year mortgage on a moderately priced U.S. home, borrowers can reduce their monthly payments, but it will also double the total interest paid by homeowners over the life of the loan. Extending the mortgage term from 30 years to 50 years can lower the monthly payment by about $119, or increase the purchasing power of the average consumer by nearly $23,000.
