An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is a home loan where the interest rate is fixed for an initial period and then may adjust at set intervals based on market conditions. ARMs may offer a lower initial rate than some fixed-rate loans, which can be helpful for certain borrowers depending on their plans and eligibility.
Why Some Borrowers Consider ARMs
• May offer a lower initial interest rate
• Fixed-rate period options such as 5, 7, or 10 years before adjustments
• Payment may increase or decrease when the rate adjusts
• Rate adjustments follow the program’s index, margin, caps, and rules
• Sometimes chosen by borrowers who expect to sell or refinance before the adjustment period begins
It’s important to understand how adjustments work and what future payments could look like.
