West Bloomfield Township, Michigan (MI)

Several home financing options are available to you if you live in West Bloomfield. Whether you are purchasing a new home, refinancing, or looking for a home equity loan, there are different types of loans for you to consider. Finding the right loan and the right lender is as important as finding the right home.

Fixed Rate Home Loans

Fixed rate loans are traditional loans. You pay the same interest rate and make the same payments for the life of the loan. Fixed rate home loans are available for home purchases, home refinancing, and home equity loans. Most home equity loans are fixed rate loans.

Fixed rate loans are good option for borrowers in West Bloomfield right now. Interest rates are low, which makes a fixed rate loan a good choice. In fact, people are currently refinancing their adjustable rate mortgages to take advantage of the low fixed rates available to them.

Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs)

An adjustable rate mortgage varies with the prime lending rate. Adjustable rate mortgages change periodically, so your interest changes and as does your house payment.

When you take out an adjustable rate mortgage, you are hoping that interest rates will decrease. Of course, there is a risk that you are wrong and they will increase instead.

You can use an adjustable rate mortgage for a home purchase loan, to refinance your home or, sometimes, for a home equity loan.

Hybrid Loans

Hybrid loans combine a fixed rate and an adjustable rate loan. They are most commonly used to purchase a home. Currently, it is common to have a fixed rate loan for the first three to ten years of the loan, and then it converts to an adjustable rate loan.

Lenders often give you low interest rates during the introductory period of a hybrid loan. This makes it possible for people to buy more home than they might be able to afford otherwise. This is a great option for a new home owner who expects his or her to increase quickly.

Of course, people often take advantage of the low interest rates at the beginning of the loan and refinance before it converts to an ARM. Lenders are quite aware of that, and often write prepayment penalties into the contract. Even if you pay a penalty, however, it can be a great way to save some money on your mortgage.
