A fixed rate mortgage is designed to lock in your interest rate for the entire duration of the loan’s term. Common fixed rate terms are 30-year, 20-year, or 15 year. Although US mortgage rates will increase or decrease over the years, you’ll still pay the same interest rate as you did on your first mortgage payment.
An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is loan program that is split into two parts. The rate is fixed in the beginning of the loan (typically 5-, 7- or 10-year options) and variable for the rest of the loan, adjusting each year (typically once each year or every 6 months). This can be a great option for homeowners because it can offer an introductory fixed rate that’s lower than a typical fixed rate mortgage before the variable rate period kicks in.
An example would be a 5/1 ARM or 5/6 ARM, the first number “5” would stand for the length of the initial fixed rate period of the loan (5 years of a fixed interest rate) while the second number “1” or “6” would stand for how often the loan will adjust after the fixed rate period is over. “1” for once every year or “6” for every 6 months.
