Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)

Unlike a traditional mortgage where the interest rate remains the same throughout the term of the loan, an adjustable-rate mortgage, or ARM, is a home loan with an interest rate that changes over time, typically after an initial fixed-rate period. An ARM can be an ideal solution for borrowers wanting to refinance, tap into their home's equity, or purchase, especially during periods of high interest rates.

So, if you're looking for a lower initial interest rate, lower payment, flexibility, and greater buying power, a 5/6 ARM from Metro Credit Union may be a better mortgage option for you! But don't wait, rates are subject to change.

Adjustable-Rate Mortgage FAQ

What is a 5/6 Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)?

A 5/6 ARM is a mortgage with an interest rate that's fixed for the first 5 years. After the fixed period, the rate could potentially adjust every 6 months after based on interest rates at that time. 

Why Would I Choose a 5/6 ARM Over a Fixed-Rate Mortgage?

The 5/6 ARM offers a lower initial interest rate than a fixed-rate mortgage, which means lower monthly payments for the five-year period. This can offer huge savings, especially if you don’t plan to stay in the home long term or think rates are going to go down. In the event rates do go down, you would be able to refinance into a lower rate, fixed term product.

How are Rate Changes Determined After the First 5 Years?

After the fixed period, your rate could adjust every 6 months based on an index plus a fixed margin. For example, if the index is 3% and your margin is 2.25%, your new rate would be 5.25%.  

Can I Refinance Before the Rate Starts Adjusting?

Yes, you may refinance your mortgage at any time. This can be a good strategy if you want to avoid the uncertainty of fluctuating rates or if you can secure a lower interest rate on a fixed-rate mortgage. 

How High Can My Rate Adjust?

The 5/6 ARM has adjustment caps in place to protect you. Your rate will never increase by more than 5% over the life of the loan and will never be less than the initial start rate.

*The advertised APR assumes 5/6 adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) of $350,000 4.625% interest and 4.668% APR. A 5/6 ARM is a 30-year mortgage with a fixed interest rate for the first five years which adjusts every six months after that. The interest rate on the first change date will not adjust to more than 9.875% or less than 4.875%. Afterward, the interest rate may increase or decrease by no more than two percentage points from the current rate at each adjustment. The interest rate will never exceed 9.875% or fall below 4.875% during the life of the loan. All rate adjustments are based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate/SOFR 30-day Average and a margin of 2.25%.

The estimated monthly payment of $1,799.49 is for principal and interest only and excludes property taxes and homeowner’s insurance; therefore, your actual monthly payment may be higher. The maximum monthly payment for principal and interest, if the interest rate reaches the maximum of 9.875%, would be $2,821.00.The applicant(s) is responsible for the following fees and costs at the time of closing: processing fee, underwriting fee, appraisal fee, tax service fee, title fees, title insurance, transfer tax fees, credit report fee, flood cert fee, recording fee, survey fee if required, pest inspection fee, work verification fee, escrow reserves and interest due until first payment. Some fees may be included in the APR calculation. This is not intended to be an all-inclusive list.

This rate offer is effective 02/02/2026 and subject to change.

The advertised rate is based on credit worthiness, and single-family owner-occupied residence with an 80% LTV. Not all applicants will qualify for the advertised rate.  Rates may be adjusted for higher LTVs. All loans are subject to credit approval. The offer is available for loan amounts between $50,000 and $806,500. The maximum loan-to-value (LTV) and combined loan-to-value (CLTV) for a one-unit property is 95%. Loans with an LTV of 80% or greater are subject to private mortgage insurance (PMI), which increases the monthly payment.

Other restrictions may apply. Membership in Metro Credit Union is required. Federally Insured by NCUA.
