Get More House for Your Money with SLFCU’s New 7/1 Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Apply Now Estimate Your Payments
Looking for a home loan with flexibility and affordability that doesn’t compromise on stability? SLFCU's new 7/1 Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) might be right for you.
With our 7/1 ARM, you’ll get the stability of a seven-year fixed interest rate and a 30-year term with no points. After the initial seven-year period, the rate will adjust once a year according to market conditions.
Here’s the best part: The 7/1 ARM offers a lower qualifying rate than other loan types. This means you could qualify for a bigger loan amount– and that means more purchasing power!
SEVEN REASONS TO CONSIDER SLFCU’S 7/1 ARM
- No budget surprises. Because it kicks off with a fixed interest rate for the first seven years, the 7/1 ARM ensures budget predictability during the initial stages of your mortgage journey.
- Potentially lower monthly payments. With the 7/1 ARM, you may have lower monthly payments compared to traditional fixed rate mortgages, making homeownership more accessible and manageable.
- Down payments as low as 3%. Just like with our popular 5/5 and 15/15 ARMs, if you’re a first-time home buyer, you can make a down payment as low as 3%. Or, if you’ve previously purchased a home, you can still qualify for a down payment as low as 5% of the purchase price!
- Rate caps for peace of mind. Your rate cannot increase or decrease by more than 3.5% at the first adjustment, or by more than 2% at each annual adjustment after that.
- Low closing costs. SLFCU’s mortgages offer low closing costs (on jumbo loans, too!)
- No PMI. SLFCU has no private mortgage insurance (PMI) requirement, which could potentially save you thousands of dollars over the life of your loan.
- More buying power. It’s worth repeating! You could qualify for a bigger loan amount with the 7/1 ARM.
IS THE 7/1 ARM RIGHT FOR YOU?
The 7/1 ARM could be a great fit if you plan to stay in your new home for seven years or fewer, if you want to refinance to a fixed rate mortgage after seven years, and/or if you expect interest rates to fall over time.
While the 7/1 ARM offers significant advantages, it's crucial to consider your homeownership goals and timeline. If you’re looking for a forever home and/or if you don’t want interest rate adjustments after the initial seven-year fixed rate period is over, you can explore SLFCU’s other home loan options to find one that is right for you.
