FIXED-RATE MORTGAGEThe interest rate will stay the same for the entire term of the loan. This means that your monthly principal and interest payments will remain the same for the life of the loan. A fixed-rate mortgage is available in a variety of term options.
Fixed-Rate Mortgage Features
  • Fixed interest rate.
  • Fixed monthly payments.
  • Variety of term options available.
Take Into Consideration
  • The length of the loan term, which will affect the payment amount and how much you pay in interest over the long-run.
  • The monthly payment is typically higher on a shorter-term loan than on a longer-term loan.
  • The overall interest you pay is higher on a longer-term loan than on a shorter-term loan.

ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE (ARM)The interest rate will increase and decrease periodically to reflect market conditions. This means that your monthly principal and interest payments will change depending on the market interest rate at that time.
ARM Features
  • A low mortgage rate is provided during the initial payment period. After the initial payment period expires, your mortgage rate for the loan will fluctuate to the index rate.
  • The lender adds the index rate to a margin to calculate your mortgage rate at each adjustment.
  • An interest rate cap sets a limit on how much your mortgage rate can shift up or go down, which also limits the maximum amount your monthly payment will increase or decrease at each interest rate adjustment over the life of the loan.
  • Variety of term options available.
Take Into Consideration
  • When choosing the loan term, you should consider how the adjustable rate will affect your mortgage payments over time.
