What is a Fixed Rate Mortgage?

A Fixed Rate Mortgage is a home loan with an interest rate that remains the same for the life of the loan, providing consistent monthly payments.
What happens when the introductory rate on my ARM adjusts?

After the introductory period, your ARM interest rate will adjust periodically based on market conditions. The rate could go up or down, affecting your monthly payment.

Our local mortgage consultants provide personalized service to help you choose the best loan option and guide you through the entire process.
What are the benefits to Fixed vs. Adjustable Rate Mortgages?

Fixed Rate Mortgages allow you to lock in a rate and payment for the term of your mortgage. If you plan to stay in your home for 10 years or more and/or prefer to have fixed, consistent payments then a Fixed Rate Mortgage may be beneficial to you.

Adjustable Rate Mortgages offer a lower initial rate subject to adjustment after the fixed term. This type of mortgage would be beneficial to you if you only plan to stay in your home for a few years. This would also be a better option for you if you prefer to get a low monthly rate at the beginning of your loan.
