Cascade Federal Credit Union is partnered with Member First Mortgage to be able to offer our members a wide range of financing programs:
- Fixed-rate mortgages: Rest easy with predictable payments and a rate that won't increase if the market does.
- Adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs): Increase your purchasing power and/or keep your payments lower during the first several years of your loan. The initial interest rate with an ARM is often lower than a long-term fixed-rate mortgage because it will adjust after a number of years. We have various adjustable rate options, ranging from 5-year to 15-year.*
- With ARMs, the numbers matter. The first number listed tells you the length of time your initial interest rate lasts. The second number tells you how often the rate adjusts after that. So a “5/5 ARM” means the rate will remain the same for the first 5 years, then adjusts in 5-year increments for the life of the loan. A “15/15 ARM” means the rate remains the same for the first 15 years, then adjusts only one time at the 15-year mark, for the remaining term of the loan.
