If you are buying a new home or looking to refinance your current home, the Allstate Bank Mortgage Center can help. We offer Fixed, Adjustable-Rate, and Balloon mortgages.
A Fixed-Rate Mortgage's interest rate and monthly payments remain the same for the entire life of the loan. (Taxes, of course, may change.) This type of loan may be suitable for buyers who plan to live in the house for a long time.
Types of Fixed-Rate Mortgages |
 |
 |
 |
30 Year Fixed |
 |
 |
20 Year Fixed |
 |
 |
15 Year Fixed |
 |
With Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (commonly called ARMs) the interest rate can change over the life of the loan--according to the terms specified in advance. ARMs may be appropriate for buyers who believe they will be in the market for another home in a few years.
Types of Adjustable Rate Mortgages |
 |
 |
 |
10/1 Adjustable-Rate |
 |
 |
7/1 Adjustable-Rate |
 |
 |
5/1 Adjustable-Rate |

Other Mortgage Programs
A balloon mortgage is amortized over the full term of the loan repayment period, but at the end of a specified period the balance comes due. Thus, a balloon payment needs to be made. For example, with a 7-year balloon you would make fixed monthly payments for seven years that have been calculated based on a 30-year mortgage. At the end of the 7 years, the remaining principal balance would be due and payable in full.
