Mortgage Rates

• The term APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate.
• The Annual Percentage Rate on an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) may increase after consummation.
• The interest rate and APR on an ARM loan is based on the 30-day average secured overnight financing rate, or “SOFR” (the “Index” of 4.85682 as of 10/22/2024) plus a margin of 2.75% (the “Margin”) and is variable and subject to increase or decrease, so your payments may increase or decrease every six months after the initial period.
• The actual interest rate, APR, and payment may vary based on the specific terms of the loan selected, verification of information, your credit history, the location and type of property, and other factors as determined by us.
• Interest Rates, APR, maximum loan-to-value and down-payment will differ for non-conforming loans or lines that exceed product limits.
• The Monthly Payments shown below do not include amounts for real estate taxes and insurance premiums, such as homeowners or private mortgage insurance. For Residential Mortgage Loans escrow account for these amounts is required and will mean your actual Monthly Payment will be higher.
• Rates are subject to change daily without notice.
• There is no prepayment penalty.
• All loans are subject to credit approval.
• Residential Mortgage Loan Repayment Examples shown below are based on a credit score of 780 or higher.
• For Residential Mortgage Loans, rates and terms are based on the purchase or refinance of an existing single family dwelling located in Connecticut, that will be used as your primary residence.  APRs are based on 0.0% discount points, $897 origination fees, and $0 in prepaid finance charges due at closing.  For purchases a 25% down payment and 75% maximum loan to value.  Rates shown require automatic deduction of monthly payments from a First County Bank checking account, alternate programs are available.
• For Home Equity Lines of Credit, the property securing the loan is an existing one-to-four family home located in the State of Connecticut that will be used as your primary residence. Non-eligible properties include CO-OP, condo and investment properties. The disclosed APR is based on $0 origination fee and $0 in additional prepaid finance charges due at closing. A First County Bank Checking Account and Online Banking is required. Terms, conditions, and any fees associated with those services are disclosed in our Checking Account Disclosure, Online Banking Agreement and Consumer Deposit Account Schedule of Charges.
