Conventional Fixed-Rate Mortgage

Planning to stay in a modestly priced home for years to come? A Conventional Fixed-Rate Mortgage3 can be the right fit for your budget and is one of the most popular home loan options. Your interest rate remains the same for the life of the loan, so you'll have predictable monthly payments and no pre-payment penalties.

Jumbo Mortgage

If you're buying a bigger or more expensive home, a Jumbo Mortgage2  can get you a larger loan amount. Your interest rate is fixed and does not change, so you'll have predictable monthly payments and no pre-payment penalties.

Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)

If you plan to pay off your mortgage fast or buy a different home in 10 years or less, an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)4 could be the right home loan for you. An ARM is a variable-rate loan with a special, low introductory rate, that converts (or "adjusts") to the market rate after a set period of time.
 

Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)6 uses the equity in your home to establish a line of credit for immediate and future lending needs. Tap into the equity in your home with a revolving HELOC. Access cash now and in the future with a 10-year draw period and generous lines up to $500,000.
