Fixed- and Adjustable-Rate Mortgages

Fixed-rate

When you opt for a fixed rate mortgage, you’re choosing a loan with an interest rate that won’t change. You lock in a mortgage rate and you keep that rate for the life of the loan. That means you’ll consistently pay the same monthly mortgage for as long as you keep your home (that payment can fluctuate slightly if the amount you pay in taxes or insurance changes).

Common terms for a fixed-rate mortgage are 15- and 30-years.

Adjustable-rate

Choosing an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM)1 means your loan will start out with the rate you lock in at the beginning of your loan process. You choose an initial fixed rate period (usually 5, 7 or 10 years) during which you’re charged the interest rate you locked. After that initial fixed rate period, your rate adjusts every six months according to the market, but typically has a max rate cap. That means after the fixed rate period ends, your monthly mortgage payment can fluctuate every six months.
