Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARM) & Home Loans
Serving All of New York, Including Albany, Saratoga Springs, Clifton Park & the Adirondacks
Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARM) have a fixed interest rate for the the start of the term and a floating rate thereafter. Depending on the program, once the initial period expires, typically 1, 3, 5 or 7 years, the adjustment occurs either once every six months or once every year and fluctuates following published financial indexes.
An adjustable-rate mortgage that adjusts every six months will normally have a 1% cap per adjustment and a 6% cap over the life of the loan. The cap ‘limits’ how much the interest rate can increase. An ARM that adjusts every 1 year will normally have a 2% cap per adjustment and a 6% cap over the life of the loan. Caps vary from mortgage program to mortgage program, making it crucial for the home buyer to fully understand the terms of their specific mortgage.
