    Fixed Rate Mortgages

    With a fixed rate mortgage loan the interest rate remains fixed for the life of the loan. Fixed Rates provide you a predictable monthly principal and interest payment. There are a variety of terms available with fixed rates.  See how much mortgage you might qualify for.

    Adjustable Rate Mortgages

    Adjustable rate mortgage programs offer a starting rate that is lower than fixed rate programs. The interest rate and payment will adjust depending on the terms of the mortgage. For example, a 5/6m ARM is fixed for the first five years and then the interest rate and payment may adjust yearly for the remainder of the loan.  See how much mortgage you might qualify for.

    First-Time Home Buyers

    At Vermont Federal, we know how big of an accomplishment it is becoming a first-time home buyer. Because of that, we want to do everything we can to help you get there sooner. Many first-time home buyers struggle to come up with the necessary down payment.  With our first-time home buyer program, you can borrow up to 97% of the home value or purchase price (whichever is lower) when you purchase a single family home or condominium.  This means you only need a 3% down payment.
