Adjustable-Rate Mortgage
A home of your own starts with Civic
A Civic Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) is a home loan that adjusts your rate after a period of either 5 or 10 years, depending on which ARM you choose.
Very competitive initial interest rate
Caps the amount your monthly payment may increase
An ideal solution if you plan to sell or pay off the loan within a few years
Lower payments when you’re ready to buy
An ARM is a great way for you to start out with more homebuying power when you’re looking for a home. Typically, ARM mortgage rates help you get more home for your money. If you’re rate shopping to find the best ARM rates, include Civic's rate in your comparisons.
