LOWER INITIAL INTEREST RATE.
An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is a home loan in which the interest rate is based on an index that reflects current market conditions plus a margin that is added to the index. This index value varies and is available upon request or at application time. Typically, the interest rate is fixed for a period of time and then changes annually.ARMs can be good for borrowers who plan to sell or refinance their home after the initial term ends. In the end, choosing an adjustable-rate mortgage loan could save you money.
Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Highlights:
- Lower initial rates compared to a fixed-rate loan
- Rate/payment is locked in for the first 7 years
- Capped annual and lifetime adjustments after the initial term
- Can be good for those only planning to stay in their home a few years
ARM Loan Plans:
- 7/1 ARM - The interest rate on a 7/1 ARM will remain fixed at the initial rate for the first 7 years. After that, the interest rate will change annually based on the value of the index plus the margin, subject to annual and lifetime interest rate adjustment caps.
Jumbo Adjustable-Rate Loans are also available for adjustable-rate mortgage loans more than $700,000.
