Understanding Home Loans

Understanding the types of home loans available is the first step in securing financing for your home. Here are some of the most common types:

• Fixed-Rate Loans: These loans maintain the same interest rate for the life of the loan, providing predictable monthly payments.
• Adjustable-Rate Loans (ARMs): These loans offer a fixed interest rate for a specific period before adjusting annually.
• Government-Insured Loans: These include FHA, VA, and USDA loans, which offer specific benefits for eligible borrowers.
• First-Time Home Buyer Loans: Especially for first-time buyers, programs like the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) loans offer down payment assistance, making homeownership more accessible.
• Jumbo Loans: These are designed for properties that exceed conventional loan limits.
