Maybe you want the security of knowing your rate is fixed and won’t change over 15 or 30 years or maybe you want to take advantage of lower rates through an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM). Our adjustable-rate mortgages are based on a 15- or 30-year term, but have an initial fixed rate period of 3, 5, 7, or 10 years before the rate adjusts.
Everyone’s situation may be different so we can help guide you through the options.
Fixed-rate mortgages
With a fixed-rate mortgage, your payment will not change over the course of your loan. Your interest rate is set at the outset and can’t go up or down. We offer fixed-rate mortgages in 30, 20, 15 and 10-year options1.
Adjustable-rate mortgages
An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) offers a lower initial interest rate and, consequently, a lower monthly payment. Your interest rate and your payment typically increase as time goes on. We offer ARMs in 15 and 30-year terms2, and we provide an initial fixed-rate period
of 3, 5, 7, or 10 years before the first rate adjustment.
Jumbo mortgages
A jumbo mortgage allows you to borrow more than $726,2003, the most common maximum limit of conventional conforming lenders. We help you find a jumbo loan package
to fit your needs.
