If you’re planning to stay in your home for a long time and you’re looking for a predictable loan, choose a traditional fixed-rate mortgage. Your monthly principal and interest payment will never go higher. Farmers offers a variety of competitive fixed-rate mortgages.
If there’s a chance you might move in a few years, a variable-rate mortgage might be best for you. A variable-rate mortgage starts out with a lower interest rate and lower payment. At Farmers, you can choose a variable-rate mortgage that begins with a fixed rate for seven or ten years. The rate may increase or decrease annually after the initial loan term and has a maximum increase over the life of the loan.
You have enough tough decisions to make when building your new home. Let Farmers simplify things with one loan — a one-time closing featuring a locked-in rate at the time of application. Your loan automatically converts to a fully amortizing, permanent loan at the completion of the construction.
The Farmers Affordable Housing Program is a first mortgage program to assist in the purchase of a home for low to moderate income families. Farmers will provide grant money up to $3,000 to assist with down payment and closing costs. This program allows for up to 100% financing with no mortgage insurance required.
