Ease Into Homeownership
with 5/1 ARM Financing
Who says owning a home costs an arm and a leg?? With 5/1 ARM financing, you can ease into the costs of homeownership with a 3.49% interest rate for the first five years, lowering your monthly payments and saving you money while increasing your equity.
Here's how it works, based on a $350,000 sales price:
Year |
Maximum Interest Rate |
Mortgage Principal & Interest |
Years 1-5 |
3.49% |
$1,541 / month |
Year 6 |
4.49% |
$1,739 / month |
Years 7 |
5.49% |
$1,949 / month |
Comparatively, the same mortgage with a 4.99% fixed rate would cost you $1,843/month. Because of the lower monthly payments with the ARM, over the first five years of your mortgage, you'll pay $18,088 LESS with the ARM than with the fixed rate - Now THAT's math that makes sense.
Starting in year 6, your rate can be adjusted by up to 1% each year, with a maximum rate of 8.49%. You may be thinking, "That sounds high." But consider this: Your rate will be lower than a fixed rate until year 7. You might move within 7 years. You might make extra payments and pay down your mortgage before it adjusts. And, you can refinance to a fixed rate at any time. So, take advantage of that low 5/1 ARM rate, and keep more money in your pocket.
This special financing is only available on select move-in ready homes and for a limited-time - Connect with a New Home Specialist for more information and a list of homes eligible for 5/1 ARM financing.
