Our Rates:

Fixed rate mortgages are an excellent way for home buyers to take advantage of rates that are still very close to historical low points.  The ability to lock in a low rate for the entire life of a loan makes fixed rate mortgages the most popular type of mortgage in the United States.  Qualified borrowers can get a 30 year fixed rate mortgage at a 4.625% mortgage rate with 4.746% APR. A 15 year fixed rate mortgage is available at a 4.125% interest rate and 4.333% APR.

FHA mortgages have become one of the biggest sources of financing for first time home buyers and those who lack a lot of money for a down-payment.  A large part of the appeal of FHA mortgages is that they only require a 3.5% down payment, compared to 20% or more from other sources of funding. Qualified borrowers can get a 30 year fixed FHA mortgage at a 4.625% interest rate and 5.918% APR.

Adjustable rate mortgages have become more attractive as mortgage rates on fixed rate mortgages increase.  Those who qualify can get a 5/1 conforming ARM at a rate of 3.375 percent and a 3.261 percent APR.

Jumbo mortgages are larger loans that are often associated with luxury homes or houses in very expensive markets. Currently, Total Mortgage is offering a 30 year fixed jumbo mortgage at 5.375% and 5.495% APR and a 15 year fixed jumbo mortgage at a 4.375% rate and 4.575% APR.
