Good for short-term goals or when rates are expected to stay low

Arrow-1

Ideal for long-term planning and homeowners looking for stability

Your mortgage is more than a rate.

If you’re in the market for a mortgage, there’s no doubt the topic of rates has come up. Mortgage rates are important, but they’re not the only thing you should consider when finding the right mortgage
for your needs.

Don’t forget to think about:
  • The flexibility of your payment schedule
  • Lump sum and prepayment features that let you pay off your mortgage faster
  • If you can take your mortgage to your next home when you move
