Fixed-Rate Mortgages
Fixed-rate mortgages can be ideal if you expect to own the property for many years. A fixed-rate mortgage holds the interest rate and monthly payment constant for the life of your loan so you always know exactly what your monthly payments will be.
Adjustable-Rate Mortgages
If you do not plan on staying in your home for a long period of time or need flexibility to meet your current financial situation, you may want to consider an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM). With this option, you can take advantage of a fixed interest rate for a shorter period of time. After the initial period ends, the rate is adjusted every year, but will never exceed a pre-determined rate cap.
Jumbo Mortgages
Jumbo mortgages are available for customers who want a higher loan amount (more than $417,000) at competitive rates. Jumbo financing options include fixed- and adjustable-rate mortgages, with a range of terms to accommodate immediate and long-term financial plans.
Refinancing Options
If you want to refinance your existing mortgage — to reduce your interest rate or term, or tap into the equity in your home — we have several options available. There is no prepayment penalty for Cambridge Trust mortgage customers. Down the road if the time is right to refinance, we're there for you.
