The APR(rate) is fixed for the first five years, and then adjust annually based on the weekly average of the 1-year Constant Maturity Treasury (CMT) index, The APR is subject to increase. Many first-time home buyers consider adjustable-rate loans because the initial interest rate and payments are typically lower than on standard fixed rate loans.
