Available Conventional Loans

Adjustable-Rate Loans (ARM)

An adjustable-rate loan has a variable interest rate after an initial fixed period. Once the fixed-rate period ends, your interest rate changes with the market. Adjustable-rate loans can be a viable option if you plan to sell the home in a few years.

Fixed-Rate Loans

A fixed-rate loan allows you to choose an interest rate that won't change over the life of your loan. You can also select a term length ranging from 10 to 30 years. A fixed-rate loan protects homebuyers against rising interest rates, making it a good option if you plan to stay in the home long-term.
