Facts & Figures

If you’re buying a home and want lower payments than a fixed rate mortgage may provide, consider an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) from PNC Mortgage. With an ARM, you’ll start out with a lower interest rate than a fixed rate loan and, after a predetermined number of years, your rate may change (higher or lower) and will continue to adjust on a regular basis until you pay off your mortgage.

  • Lower payments for the first years of a loan
  • Ideal if you’re expecting an increase in income, are willing to accept future interest rate risk, or don’t plan to own the home for a long period
  • Adjustable rate loans are available in periods of 7 and 10 years during which the interest rate remains unchanged, followed by an adjustment period in which the interest rate may increase or decrease on an annual or semi-annual basis, dependent upon the product, resulting in a change in your monthly payment amount.

Costs & Fees

Typically these fees range from 3% - 5% of the loan amount.
