Lower Your Monthly Payments

Looking to refinance your home with a lower rate and save monthly? Explore our Traditional Refinance options.

Traditional Refinance

One of the best reasons to refinance a home is to lower the interest rate on your existing loan. When you lower your rate, you are lowering the total amount of interest you are paying and you can also choose a shorter term, which pays off your home sooner. It’s also a great option to increase your cash flow each month.

If you're looking for a low refinance rate to meet your needs — we've got you covered! Talk to one of our home loan experts or schedule an appointment  to discuss our Traditional Refinance option today!

Choose between our Fixed and Adjustable Rate Mortgage options.

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 semi-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 SOFR 7/6 ARM and SOFR 10/6 ARM. The ARM numbers, “7/6”, show how long the initial fixed rate lasts and how often the rate can change afterward.

For Example:

• A 7/6 ARM has a fixed interest rate until the 84th month (7 years) and can change every 6 months after.
• A 10/6 ARM has a fixed interest rate until the 120th month (10 years) and can change every 6 months after.

What is a SOFR ARM?

SOFR is Secured Overnight Financing Rate, and is a referenced rate established to replace LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by Treasury securities.

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 30-Day Average SOFR rate, rounded to the nearest 0.125% (currently .08%). More information about this index is available at SOFR Averages and Index Data - FEDERAL RESERVE BANK of NEW YORK (newyorkfed.org). Our current margin is 2.750%.

How can my Interest Rate change?

Your interest rate can adjust when the initial fixed interest rate period ends, and every 6 months thereafter. Your interest rate will never increase or decrease more than 5 percentage points during the first adjustment, and 1% with each adjustment after the first, over the life of the loan.
