Fixed Rate Mortgage
As the most popular mortgage program for homebuyers, a fixed rate mortgage offers the stability of predictable monthly payments for the life of the loan. With a fixed rate mortgage, payments will remain constant. Down payment of 5% required.
Adjustable Rate Mortgage
With a typically lower mortgage payment, Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM) are an increasingly popular alternative to the conventional fixed rate mortgage. The lower payments allow the homeowner to get the most home for their money. There is a potential increase in the monthly payment over time, if interest rates rise. ARMs are most appropriate for people who anticipate an increase in their income over the years or do not plan to stay in their home for a long period of time.
10/1 Arm
The 10/1 mortgage offers a fixed rate for the first ten (10) years of the loan. Beginning with the tenth anniversary date of the loan payments, your interest rate and payment will change yearly. Down payment of 5% required.
Fixed Plus 5/1 Mortgage
The Fixed Plus 5/1 mortgage offers a fixed rate for the first five (5) years of the loan. Beginning with the fifth anniversary date of the loan payment, your interest rate and payment will change yearly. A conversion option is available. Down payment of 5% required.
Fixed Plus 7/1 Mortgage
The Fixed Plus 7/1 mortgage offers a fixed rate for the first seven (7) years of the loan. Beginning with the seventh anniversary date of the loan payment, your interest rate and payment will change yearly. A conversion option is available. Down payment of 5% required.
3 Year Arm
The 3 Year Adjustable Rate Mortgage offers the initial rate of interest for a period of thirty six (36) months with interest rate and payments adjustments every thirty six (36) months. Down payment of 5% required.
Bi-Weekly Mortgage
Ocean City Home Bank offers both 15 and 30 year bi-weekly mortgage loans. With a bi-weekly loan you will be required to make ½ of your mortgage payment every two weeks. As a result, you will make thirteen mortgage payments over the course of the year instead of the more traditional twelve. By doing so your mortgage repayment will be accelerated and your loan will be paid off much sooner than a standard 15 or 30 year fixed rate product. For your convenience we will automatically draft these payments from an Ocean City Home Bank checking or savings account. Down payment of 5% required.
