Frequently Asked Questions

How does an adjustable-rate mortgage work?
K
3

An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) starts with a fixed interest rate for an initial period (such as 5, 7, or 10 years), after which the rate adjusts periodically based on market index rates. This means your monthly payment may increase or decrease over time depending on current interest rate trends

What happens when the ARM rate adjusts?
K
3

When the initial fixed period ends, your ARM interest rate will adjust at scheduled intervals (usually annually). The new rate is based on a financial index plus a margin set by the lender. Most ARMs include rate caps that limit how much your interest rate can increase per adjustment and over the life of the loan.

Is an ARM better than a fixed-rate mortgage?
K
3

An ARM can be a better option if you plan to sell, refinance, or pay off your loan before the adjustment period begins, as it offers lower initial rates and payments. However, fixed-rate mortgages provide long-term stability, making them better for borrowers who plan to stay in their home long-term.

What are 5/1, 7/1, and 10/1 ARM loans?
K
3

These terms refer to how long your interest rate stays fixed and how often it adjusts afterward. For example, a 5/1 ARM has a fixed rate for 5 years and then adjusts annually, while 7/1 and 10/1 ARMs offer longer fixed periods before annual adjustments. Longer fixed periods typically provide more stability but may come with slightly higher initial rates..
