Apply OnlineWhat is an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)?
An Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) allows you to take advantage of a below-market fixed rate during the beginning of your mortgage term. After the initial low fixed period, the interest rate becomes adjustable based on a set index and margin. An ARM would benefit you most if you are planning to pay off or refinance your home in five to seven years.
An ARM would be best for you if:
- You want to keep payments lower during the early years of your loan.
- You plan to sell or pay off your mortgage within the loan's term.
- You expect your income to increase significantly in the coming years.
- You think interest rates may decrease in the future.

How an ARM Works
With an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage, the interest rate is fixed for a set amount of time. After the fixed period, the interest rate becomes variable, adjusting periodically for the remainder of the loan.
When reading term options, the first number is the number of years the interest rate is set at. The second number is how many years before the rate adjusts again, which occurs throughout the duration of the loan. For example, a 3/1 ARM has a fixed rate for the first 3 years, then an adjustable rate every year after. In the case of a 5/5 ARM, there is a fixed rate for the first 5 years, then an adjustable rate every 5 years after.
