Unlocking the Potential of Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARMs)

When it comes to financing your dream home, the type of mortgage you choose can make all the difference. Have you considered an adjustable-rate mortgage? These loans offer unique advantages that could help you achieve your homeownership goals while optimizing your budget.

Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs)

With an ARM, you lock your interest rate in for a certain period, and then it adjusts according to your loan structure.

Key features of ARMs:

  • Initial fixed-rate period: Enjoy stable payments for a set timeframe, such as five, seven or 10 years.
  • Rate adjustments: After the fixed-rate period, your rate adjusts at predetermined intervals, reflecting market trends. Caps limit how much your interest rate and payment can rise over the life of the ARM loan.
  • Tailored options: ARMs come in various term structures to suit diverse financial plans. We offer a variety of term options designed for different situations.

ARMs might be the best mortgage choice if you:

  • Want to maximize your buying power
  • Want to keep your payments lower during the first few years of your loan
  • Plan to move into a different home within five to 10 years.
  • Plan to pay off your mortgage within five to 10 years.
  • Expect your income to increase significantly in the next several years.
