Home loan. |
What it is. |
|---|---|
| FHA. Featured |
Homeownership is affordable with our Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans. They offer down payment options as low as 3.5% and competitive interest rates. FHA loans are backed by the federal government, making homeownership a possibility if you don’t qualify for a conventional mortgage. These loans are great for homebuyers who have a smaller down payment or lower credit score. Learn more at HUD.gov. |
| 5/5 Adjustable-rate mortgage. Featured |
Save money early on in homeownership. A 5/5 ARM offers a low interest rate that stays the same for the first 5 years before it adjusts to the market rate. It’s a great alternative to the 2-1 buydown options. It’s a good fit if you plan to stay in your home for around five years and want to start out with a lower interest rate. |
| Conventional fixed-rate. |
The interest rate won’t change for the life of the loan. That gives you some predictability around your monthly payment. We offer 10, 15, and 30-year terms. It’s a great option if you expect to live in your home for around 10 years. |
| Adjustable-rate mortgage. |
ARMs let you take advantage of a low fixed rate for a certain number of years at the beginning of your loan. Once that fixed-rate term is over, your loan will adjust periodically. The lower rate at the start could help you qualify for a larger home loan. Available as 3, 5, 7, or 10-year ARMs and 5/5 ARMs. This home loan option is good if you plan on being in your home for a short period of time. |
| 10% down, no mortgage insurance. |
Usually when you're getting a home loan and you don’t put down 20%, you must get mortgage insurance. It can make your monthly payment go way up. If you qualify with STCU, you only need to put down 10%. That means you can hang onto more of your cash for the stuff you really enjoy. Do you have a strong credit history and 10% to use as a down payment? This could be for you. |
| Down payment match. |
First-time homebuyers can boost buying power with a down payment match. We’ll match up to 5% of the down payment on your STCU first mortgage. You’ll pay 0% APR on the matched amount. This could be an ideal fit if you’re a first-time homebuyer looking to put down a larger monthly payment. |
| 100% financing, zero down. |
Homeownership could be obtainable with a $0 down loan. You’ll only pay the closing costs. It’s available as 30-year fixed-rate or 5/5 ARM. This loan could be for you if you have strong credit history and stable income but can’t put 20% down. |
| Jumbo. |
Get financing for home loans over $766,550. Flexible loan options and keep your loan locally serviced. These loans are best suited for you if you have a high income and are looking to buy a home that exceeds conventional loan limits. |
| Zero down - USDA | There’s no down payment required if you’re looking to buy a home in a designated rural community and you’re a qualified buyer. Learn more at USDA.gov and check USDA loan eligibility. |
| Zero down - VA | If you’re a qualified military veteran, you can buy a home with 0% down and no mortgage insurance. Visit VA.gov to learn more. |
You could buy a home with less than a 20% down payment.
Yes, having a bigger down payment may help you qualify for a higher home purchase price, but it’s not the only way to do it. First-time homebuyers could qualify for down payments as low as 3%, with down payment match programs that could help you meet the 3% minimum.
Prefer conventional financing but want to put just 5% down? It’s possible. There are even some 0% down options.
First-timers get extra.
If you're a first-time homebuyer — or have not owned a home in the last three years — we'll help you get into your first place by reducing loan fees and upfront costs. STCU offers you:
- 50% off loan origination fee!
- Review of your eligibility for $0 and lowdown payment home loans.
- Government-backed FHA, VA, and USDA home loan options.
