Get prequalified for a basic estimate of what you may be able to borrow.
These rates and APRs are current as of $date and may change at any time. They assume you have a FICO® Score of 740+ and at least 25% equity, that the loan is for a single-family home as your primary residence and that you will purchase up to one mortgage point.
Mortgage points, or discount points, are a form of prepaid interest you can choose to pay up front in exchange for a lower interest rate and monthly payment. One mortgage point is equal to about 1% of your total loan amount, so on a $250,000 loan, one point would cost you about $2,500. Connect with a mortgage loan officer to learn more about mortgage points.

Adjustable-rate mortgage loans are usually referred to as ARMs. These loans are typically offered with a 30-year term. A 5/1 ARM has a fixed rate for the first five years. Then the rate becomes variable and adjusts every year for the remaining 25 years of the loan. In addition to 5/1 ARM loans, U.S. Bank also offers 7/1 ARM and 10/1 ARM options. Check out today’s rates for 7/1 ARM refinance loans and 10/1 ARM refinance loans.
A 5/1 ARM loan is a variable-rate loan with an initial fixed-rate feature. After an initial five-year period, the fixed rate converts to a variable rate. It stays variable for the remaining life of the loan, adjusting every year in line with an index rate. This index rate fluctuates with market conditions. Your monthly mortgage payment could increase substantially if the index rate increases substantially. And, if the index rate goes down, then your monthly mortgage payment could decrease. All 5/1 ARMs set limits on how high or low the rate may change.
The 5/1 ARM has an initial fixed rate for five years and an adjustable rate for the remaining life of the loan. Your monthly payment could increase or decrease after the first five years depending on how the index rate fluctuates. By contrast, a 30-year fixed-rate refinance loan has a fixed rate and fixed monthly payment for the entire 30-year term. A 15-year fixed-rate refinance loan has a fixed rate and fixed monthly payment for the entire 15-year term.

If you plan to sell your home or pay off your mortgage within five years, then a 5/1 ARM may be right for you. Rates on ARMs are usually lower than rates on comparable fixed-rate mortgages. So, their monthly mortgage payments are lower. The 5/1 ARM offers these lower rates and the predictability of a fixed-rate mortgage for the first five years.
If you’re not going to move or pay off your loan within five years, then you need to consider the risk involved with an ARM. After the initial five-year period, the rate on your loan will adjust every year in line with an index rate. When that rate goes up, so will your interest rate and your monthly mortgage payment. A 5/1 ARM may still be right for you if you can withstand fluctuations in your monthly mortgage payment. Keep in mind though, it is difficult to predict market or life changes.
