Ever wonder what the numbers in an adjustable-rate mortgage actually mean? 🤔 A 5/1 ARM keeps your rate fixed for 5 years, then adjusts once a year. A 7/6 ARM stays fixed for 7 years, then adjusts every 6 months. The right structure depends on how long you plan to stay in the home, and for buyers here in Chandler and the East Valley who expect to move or refinance within that window, an ARM can mean real savings upfront. That said, an ARM is not the right fit for everyone. As a mortgage broker with Barrett Financial Group, I compare adjustable options against fixed-rate home loan choices side by side so you can see the trade-offs clearly before deciding. Shopping multiple lenders also helps me find the best mortgage rates available for whichever route makes sense. • Fixed periods from 3 to 10 years • Lower initial payments than many fixed loans • Clear breakdown of when and how rates adjust If you want help running the numbers, start with a mortgage pre-approval and a quick conversation about your timeline. Send me a message and let's figure out which loan structure fits your plans best.
