Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM)
Flexible mortgage options with potentially lower initial rates
Understanding ARM Loans
An Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) is a home loan with an interest rate that changes periodically based on market conditions. ARMs typically start with lower rates than fixed-rate mortgages, making them attractive for certain borrowers.
Key Features:
- Lower initial interest rates
- Rate adjusts periodically after fixed period
- Rate caps limit adjustment amounts
- Various term options available
- Potential for rate decreases
Common ARM Types:
- 5/1 ARM: Fixed for 5 years, then adjusts annually
- 7/1 ARM: Fixed for 7 years, then adjusts annually
- 10/1 ARM: Fixed for 10 years, then adjusts annually
- 3/3 ARM: Fixed for 3 years, then adjusts every 3 years
