SCU’s Mortgage Products
Southbridge Credit Union offers a variety of fixed and adjustable home mortgage products for your new purchase or refinancing needs. And, it’s important to note that our mortgage products are locally serviced by SCU.
We offer a fixed rate mortgage with a monthly or bi-weekly payment schedule. This ensures the monthly principal and interest payments remain the same throughout the life of the loan. The most common mortgage terms are 30 and 15 years. With a 30 year fixed rate mortgage, your monthly payments are lower than they would be on a 15 year fixed rate, but the 15 year loan allows you to repay your loan twice as fast and save more than half the total interest costs. If you like to know exactly what each payment amount will be, then a fixed rate mortgage is right for you!
Don’t care if your monthly payments fluctuate? Then let us introduce you to the adjustable rate mortgage known as ‘ARM’. The adjustable rate mortgage has an interest rate that is adjusted periodically during the term of the loan. Generally, these changes are determined by a margin and an index so that the interest rate changes, up or down, are based on market conditions at the time of the change. Most often these interest rate changes are limited by a rate change cap and a lifetime cap. Southbridge Credit Union offers 1 year, 3 year, 5/1 year, 7/3 year, and 10/5 adjustable rate mortgages.
