The biggest obstacle to owning a home is the down payment and the closing costs.
That obstacle is history when you finance your home with Contour Mortgage.
Contour Mortgage is here to help you buy more home than you already have. Whether your
family is getting bigger and you need the extra room, or you are looking at a house
to get away from it all, our programs are tailored to your needs.
They are best if you want a reliable payment over a very long period of time with
no surprises. The peace of mind of a fixed-rate loan will offset the slightly higher
payment over the long term. When rates are very low, refinance into a fixed-rate
loan to lower your monthly payment or convert the uncertainty of an Adjustable Rate
to a reliable fixed-rate.
But don't be fooled if you locked in a low fixed-rate first mortgage already. If
you have a large Home Equity Loan or high interest credit cards that are not fixed,
they are already going higher and refinancing them all into a fixed-rate loan will
save you thousands in the long term.
Most ARM products offer a low introductory rate that is fixed from 1 to 10 years
and then the remaining life of the loan adjusts either annually or every six months.
Our ARM programs come with a lifetime cap on the rate. This means that your rate
will never go higher than a certain amount even if the rates skyrocket. There is
a ceiling on how much you can possibly pay.
Plan to stay in the home for less than 5 to 7 years.
Are in a high interest rate environment because the rate goes
down when rates fall over the years.
