Fixed Rate Mortgage Programs
Enjoy the security of a fixed interest rate on a fully amortized loan where the monthly payment remains the same for the life of the loan. This type of loan is ideal for borrowers who do not want the risk associated with changing mortgage payments.
Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM)
This program allows borrowers to buy more home for their money, which can help reduce your monthly housing expenses. With this type of loan, your interest rate and payment can change. ARMs typically have a lower initial interest rate than fixed rate mortgages. Interest-rate caps are provided on all ARM products for your protection.
Construction Mortgages
Build your dream home with one of our construction mortgage programs. Typically four disbursements are scheduled and interest-only payments are made during the twelve-month construction period. Once completed, your loan will convert to a permanent ARM mortgage product. Our construction loan experts will guide you through every step of the process. Plus, you’ll have one convenient closing, saving you substantial time, paperwork and money!
Jumbo Mortgages
Jumbo mortgages are available at fixed or variable interest rates, for customers requiring financing above Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae loan amounts (up to $3 million).
Building Lot Mortgages
We provide financing for the purchase of approved building lots.
Renovation Mortgages
A renovation loan provides financing for the purchase of a home along with any immediate renovations or improvements you wish to make. Or, you can finance the mortgage on your current home and borrow additional funds for your renovation project.
Investor Mortgages
Investor mortgages are available for one- to four-family homes, condos, and large commercial complexes.
FHA-Insured Mortgages
Federal Housing Authority (FHA) mortgages generally offer lower down payments plus flexible qualifying guidelines. You can obtain either a fixed-rate level payment plan or an adjustable rate mortgage.
VA Mortgages
Mortgages guaranteed by the Veterans Administration allow up to 100% financing. VA mortgages are available to eligible veterans and others who qualify.
CHFA Mortgages
The Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) offers low rate mortgages to help low and moderate income residents purchase a home. Up to 100% financing of the mortgage and closing costs is available for eligible borrowers.
Bridge Loans
Bridge Loans offer interim financing between the sale of a present home and the purchase of a new one.

Home Equity Lines of Credit
Tap into the equity you have built in your home with our Home Equity Line of Credit. Enjoy the convenience of an instant cash reserve ready for virtually any financing purpose: home improvements, college tuition, major purchases (like a car or boat), and debt consolidation. Once you qualify, simply write a check for any amount up to your approved credit line limit. Plus, a home equity line of credit can provide a significant tax advantage - you may be able to deduct up to 100% of the interest from your taxes! Be sure to consult with your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest.
Home Equity Loans
If you prefer the security of fixed monthly payments or have a one-time purchase or expense in mind, a Home Equity Loan may be the right solution for your needs. Fixed monthly payments for the life of your loan make it easier to plan your budget. And since the interest may be fully tax-deductible, you can save at tax-time too! Consult with your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest.

SmartMove Program
The SmartMove Homeownership fund enables homebuyers to purchase homes in southwestern Connecticut. For qualified borrowers, SmartMove provides low-interest (3%) 20-year second mortgages of up to 20% of the purchase price. SmartMove borrowers do not have to pay for mortgage insurance and also benefit from lower mortgage payments. Borrowers can put down as little as 1% of the purchase price towards the purchase of their home. There is a $2,000-$2,500 service fee for SmartMove borrowers. This fee is not included in the loan amount and will be added to closing costs. This program is made possible through the Housing Development Fund (HDF) located in Stamford Connecticut.
