About Balloon Mortgages
A balloon mortgage has a lower rate and lower monthly payments than a fixed-rate mortgage. Like an ARM, a balloon loan can help you either save money each month or borrow more for your home purchase.

Monthly payments on a balloon loan are fixed for the five- or seven-year loan term. A final “balloon” payment for the entire remaining balance is due at the end of the term.
A balloon mortgage is a good option if you:
  • You plan to stay in your home only for five to seven years
  • Don’t expect rates to rise significantly before the loan matures
  • Expect to have the money to make the final payment at the balloon date
  • Want predictable monthly payments
Balloon Mortgage Product Types:
  • 5 Year Balloon.
  • 7 Year Balloon.
