Adjustable Rate Mortgages at the Top Five US Bank Mortgage Lenders

Since the price of housing has become so expensive, a number of home buyers continue to look for lower monthly mortgage payments with an adjustable rate mortgage.  By reducing the mortgage rate on a home loan by .500%, a borrower a may be able to lower their payments by $31.37 a month for every $100,000 borrowed.  Of course, the trade off is the potential for a rising rate and monthly payment when the adjustable rate mortgage adjusts in the future.

The advantage of the 5/1 adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) is that this home loan has an initial five year fixed -interest rate.  After this initial five year fixed term, the mortgage rate will adjust on an annual basis according to an index plus a margin.

Current mortgage rates for 5/1 adjustable rate mortgages offered by the five largest US banks include the following rate and point options:

Chase Bank offers a 5/1 ARM with a rate of 4.75% and no points with an APR of 3.847%.
