Having a fixed rate is perfect if you have a firm budget and are expecting to stay in your home for quite some time. The predictable payments will give you peace of mind knowing exactly how much you’ll be paying each month. You’ll be able to know exactly how much interest you will pay over the life of your loan.

An Adjustable Rate First Mortgage has an initial interest rate lower than a Fixed Rate Mortgage and is fixed for a specified period. The rate is then subject to adjustments annually, after the initial fixed rate period.

The lower initial payments will give you time to build savings in the first few years.
