Buying a home? Deciding between a Fixed-Rate and an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)?

🔒 Fixed-Rate Mortgage

- Same interest rate for the life of the loan

- Predictable monthly payments

- Great if you’re staying long-term or value stability

📈 Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)

- Lower initial interest rate = lower payments at first

- Rate adjusts over time (could go up or down)

- Ideal if you plan to sell or refinance within a few years

Know your goals, then choose the right fit for you. Which would you pick?
