Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM)

An Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) means that your payment may change in the future. Citadel ARM mortgages have a fixed rate for a period of time, then rates can adjust annually. The fixed rate period varies based on the ARM loan you select and is shown right in the name of the ARM loan. Citadel offers two ARM loans: a 7/1 ARM and 10/1 ARM. The ARM numbers, “7/1”, show how long the initial fixed rate lasts and how often the rate can change afterward.

For Example:

• A 7/1 ARM has a fixed interest rate until the 84th month (7 years) and can change every 12 months (1 year) after.

• A 10/1 ARM has a fixed interest rate until the 120th month (10 years) and can change every 12 months (1 year) after.

How is my rate calculated?

The initial fixed interest rate is based on interest rate, loan amount, and total term of the loan when your loan is closed. This is the discounted rate and lasts for 7 or 10 years depending on the ARM loan selected. The Adjustable Interest Rate is based on an interest rate index plus a margin. All of our Citadel ARM mortgage interest rates are based on the 1 Year UST CM (weekly), rounded to the nearest 0.125% (currently 0.08). More information about this index is available at www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15. Our current margin is 2.5%.

How can my Interest Rate change?

Your interest rate can adjust when the initial fixed interest rate period ends, and every 12 months thereafter. Your interest rate will never increase or decrease more than 2 percentage points at any rate adjustment or 5% over the life of the loan. Your interest rate will never increase more than 5 percentage points over the initial discounted rate or be lower than 2.500%.
