A powerful financing option is helping shoppers like you get into the homes they want most. For a limited time, secure a Conventional 30-Year 7/6 adjustable-rate mortgage with no discount fee and enjoy a 3.75% / 5.48% APR* for the first 7 years of your loan.
Wondering what all that means? We’ve got you. Read on for a full breakdown on how ARMs work, and why it might be the right choice for your next move.
What is an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage?
An adjustable-rate mortgage is a home loan with an introductory interest rate that adjusts at regular intervals over time. In contrast to a fixed-rate mortgage, where your interest rate stays the same for the life of the loan, an ARM gives you a lower initial rate and monthly payment during the early years.
Going Deeper: How ARMS Actually Work
For those who love the details, here’s what’s happening when you choose a 7/6 Conventional ARM.
Initial Fixed Rate Period
For the first 7 years of the loan, the interest rate is fixed, meaning it stays the same, and monthly payments remain consistent.
Adjustment Period
After the initial 7 years, the interest rate can adjust every six months for the remaining loan term (23 years for a 30-year loan).
Principal and Interest Payments
The payment required to repay a home loan in accordance with its terms.
What Rate Adjustments are Based On
Index
A published rate that reflects general market conditions, like the cost of borrowing money in the broader economy. This 7/6 ARM is tied to the Secured Overnight Finance Rate (SOFR).
Margin
A fixed percentage, set by your lender, that’s added to your index to determine your new rate.
Protections Built In With Rate Caps
Worried about dramatic rate increases after the initial period? No need to stress, thanks to rate caps:
- Initial cap: This limits how much your interest rate can increase the very first time it adjusts when the initial fixed period ends (5% with a 3.75%/ 5.48% APR)
- Adjustment cap: This limits how much your interest rate can change after the first adjustment (1% with a 3.75%/ 5.48% APR)
- Lifetime cap: This is the maximum amount your interest rate can ever increase over the life of the loan (5% with a 3.75%/ 5.48% APR)

Who Should Consider an ARM?

- Borrowers who plan to sell or refinance within 7 years may take advantage of the lower initial rate and potentially avoid the adjustment period altogether.
- Borrowers who expect their income to increase may anticipate being able to afford higher payments in the future.
- Borrowers seeking lower initial payments may consider that the initial rate on a 7/6 ARM is typically lower than a fixed rate, resulting in lower monthly payments during the first 7 years.
Trust and Transparency: The Risks of an ARM
No tricks. No surprises. We want you to know all the benefits, and all the risks, so that you can make intelligent, informed decisions.
Payment Changes
Monthly payments can increase if interest rates rise after the fixed-rate period ends.
Complexity
ARMs can be more complex than fixed-rate mortgages, with terms and concepts like index, margin, and caps.
