3/1 Adjustable Rate Mortgage

An Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) has monthly payments that are based on a 30 year repayment schedule and the interest rate remains fixed for the first three years. After fixed period of interest, the interest rate (monthly payments) may change year after. This is called the adjustment period.

The new adjusted rate is based upon changes in a financial index and is calculated by adding a pre-agreed specified amount to the index. The amount that is added to the index is called the margin (Interest the lender charges).

For Example: Let’s say the index equals 2.50% at the time of adjustment and the margin equals 2.50%, the new interest rate would be 5%. However, adjustable loans usually have an adjustment cap. So if the adjustment cap is 1%, the new rate would be 6%.

There is also a lifetime cap which limits how much the rate can go up or down during the life of the loan. So if the lifetime cap is 5% for the example given above then thus type of ARM is referred to as an 3/1/5.

An Adjustable Rate Mortgage can work out well for people who plan staying in their homes for a short period.

5/1 Adjustable Rate Mortgage

This type of loan is similar to the 3/1 ARM except the interest rate remains fixed for the first five years.

7/1 Adjustable Rate Mortgage

This type of loan is similar to the 3/1 ARM except that the interest rate remains fixed for the first seven years.

Key Features of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage
  • Initial interest rate for the initial period is typically below the prime rate making it attractive
  • After the initial period expires the ARM will convert to a pre-agreed Index rate
  • Best suited for borrowers who do not plan to stay in their homes for the long term
  • Generally a good option if you’re able to convert it to a fixed rate mortgage or able to refinance to a low competitive rate
