Whatever your home financing goals, knowing your options is a good first step.

Mortgage loans and programs What you need to know
Fixed-rate mortgage
  • Monthlyprincipal and interest (P&I) payments stay the same over the life of the loan, so you can budget accordingly.
  • Protection from rising interest rates for the life of the loan, no matter how high interest rates go.
Adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM)
  • Lower initial interest rate and monthly P&I payments than on a fixed-rate mortgage with a comparable term.
  • Rates and monthly payments can change after the initial fixed-rate period.
Jumbo loans

For customers who need financing for higher loan amounts:

  • Provides financing above conforming Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan limits
  • Interest rate discounts and other potential benefits available through our Private Mortgage Banking group
Low down payment options

For qualified homebuyers with limited cash for a down payment:

  • Down payment as low as 3% on a conventional conforming fixed-rate mortgage.
  • Allows the use of gift funds and down payment assistance programs.
  • With a low down payment loan, mortgage insurance will be required, which increases the cost of the loan and will increase your monthly payment. We’ll explain the options available, so you can choose what works for you.
  • Talk with a home mortgage consultant about loan amount, type of loan, property type, income, first-time homebuyer, and homebuyer education requirements to ensure eligibility.
Government mortgage loan options

For eligible customers, options like FHA and VA programs may:

  • Offer low down payment programs
  • Allow the use of gift funds and down payment assistance programs
  • Provide options for customers with credit challenges
  • Require mortgage insurance

FHA loans have the benefit of a low down payment, but consider all costs involved, including up-front and long-term mortgage insurance and all fees. Ask your home mortgage consultant to help you compare the overall costs of all your home financing options.

Loans for newly built homes

For those buying a newly constructed home:

  • Builder Best® Extended Rate Lock program
  • Dedicated team that specializes in financing for newly constructed homes
Cash-out refinance

For homeowners who want to access available equity in their home:

  • Replaces your existing mortgage with a new loan that’s larger than the original loan’s balance.
  • When you close your new loan, you’ll have access to the additional money you borrowed to pay for major expenses.
