ADJUSTABLE-RATE MORTGAGES

If you're buying or refinancing a home, and want a low initial monthly payment and interest rate, an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is worth a look. Our 5/1, 7/1, and 10/1 ARMs offer a fixed, low rate for the first five, seven or 10 years, then adjust up or down every year. We also offer a 5/5 ARM, with a fixed rate for five years, adjusting up or down every five years thereafter.

An adjustable-rate mortgage may offer a lower initial interest rate than a conventional fixed rate loan. If you plan to stay in your home for only a few years, or you expect your income to increase in the years ahead, an ARM may be a smart choice.

Features of our ARMs

  • Down payments as low as 5%.
  • Rate lock for the period between credit approval and closing.1
  • No negative amortization — a portion of every payment lowers your principal.
  • Option for no Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI),2 which is usually required on loans with less than 20% down and can add several hundred dollars to your monthly payment.
  • Option to pay points at closing in exchange for a lower rate.
  • Lender-paid closing costs option for purchases.3
    • If you don't have the cash to pay the upfront fees, in exchange for a slightly higher rate, we'll pay up to $5,500 of your nonrecurring closing costs, such as your appraisal, inspection, title insurance and origination fees, depending on your loan amount. Even if you have the cash, this option lets you keep some of it on-hand for moving expenses, home furnishings or repairs.
