A fixed rate mortgage is ideal for those who plan to stay in their home for many years to come. This loan provides a consistent, fixed interest rate, and monthly principal and interest payment over the course of the loan, and is available in a variety of loan terms.
Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM)
ARM loans feature a fixed rate and payment for a set period of time. Once the initial interest rate term has ended, the payment could adjust for the remaining term of the loan. Advantages may include a lower initial interest rate and payment compared to a fixed rate mortgage.
Jumbo Loans
If your loan amount is more than $453,100, a jumbo loan is an excellent option. With flexible loan terms, we'll personalize this loan to meet your current needs.
Construction Loans
If you’re building a home, we provide short-term financing with interest-only payments. FSB will disburse the funds to the builder/contractors after you’ve approved the bills. Once your home is completed, it is a smooth transition into permanent financing.
