Yes, we really do refer to them as ARMs. But behind the odd name is a neat idea. With an adjustable-rate mortgage, you pay a lower rate for the first few years, which can make that house you really want more affordable. After that, the rate gets adjusted yearly. ARMs are a good bet if you think overall interest rates might drop, your family's income might rise, or if you might move again in a few years.
For a limited time, fees will be waived up to 2% of the amount financed on our adjustable-rate mortgages. That includes, application, appraisal and recording fees, title services and more. For a complete list, and eligibility requirements, talk to a Power Financial Credit Union mortgage specialist.
