Fixed-Rate Mortgage

One of the most prominent forms of a mortgage loan is the fixed-rate mortgage. Unlike the adjustable-rate mortgage, the fixed-rate mortgage lets homeowners know exactly what their payments will be during the length of the loan, which is generally 15 or 30 years.

Experts generally say that the fixed-rate mortgage is preferable to the adjustable-rate mortgage if interest rates are low at the time the mortgage is taken out, and if the owner expects to live in the house for several years or for the life of the loan.

Adjustable-Rate Mortgage

The adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is geared to homeowners who want to start with relatively low monthly payments or are selling or relocating within five to ten years.

ARMs come with interest rates that fluctuate over the life of the loan. For the first year or the first three or ten years of the loan (depending on terms), ARMs begin with a relatively low-interest rate tied to an index such as the federal government’s cost of funds index. That index varies from month to month according to economic indicators. On either the first-, third- or ten-year anniversary (depending on the agreement), the mortgage interest rate is reset based on fluctuations in the index. The First offers multiple options for ARMs such as 7/1, 10/1, 15/1 or 20/1. All residential mortgage rates are tied to the One Year Treasury Index 52 week average.

Typically, the agreement states that at the maximum, the borrower’s interest rate can climb two percent in any one-year and six percent over the length of the mortgage loan. That maximum increase is known as the rate cap.

Because ARMs are usually fixed for one or three years, they appeal to owners who:

  • Expect to live only a few years in their home
  • Are buying a second home or investment property
