Our mortgage specialists will help make getting a mortgage feel less difficult by discussing what to expect during the homebuying process. Our mortgage experts will discuss what to expect during the home-buying process, including:
Conventional Mortgage & Refinance Rates
| Mortgage Type | Rate | APR* | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 Year Fixed | 6.500% | 6.640% | 0.875% |
| 20 Year Fixed | 6.250% | 6.431% | 0.875% |
| 15 Year Fixed | 6.250% | 6.417% | .500% |
APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Rates effective as of 06/26/2024. All loans are subject to approval. APR assumes a $300,000 loan amount with escrows a FICO score of 760 or higher for a loan for an owner-occupied (primary residence), single-family dwelling in New York State with a loan-to-value ratio of 75% or less, and no cash-out.
For example, a 30-year, $300,000 conforming mortgage with a fixed APR of 6.627% has an approximate payment amount of $1,896.20. Real estate taxes, insurance, and private mortgage insurance (if applicable) are not included; therefore the actual payment obligation will be greater. Your rate may vary based on your creditworthiness, loan amount, purpose, property type, occupancy, LTV, lock period, and other credit characteristics.
All rates and terms are subject to change without notice. No rate is guaranteed without a valid rate lock. A point is equal to 1% of the loan amount’s balance. Private mortgage insurance (PMI) is required on mortgages that exceed 80% loan-to-value (LTV). When refinancing, the maximum loan-to-value is 80% if you take cash out. Contact a TEG Mortgage Officer for further details. Other terms and conditions may apply.
Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) Rates
| Mortgage Type | Rate | APR* | Points | First Cap | Subsequent Cap | Lifetime Cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5/6 SOFR ARM | 5.750% | 7.006% | 0.875% | +/- 2.00% | +/- 1.00% | +/- 5.00% |
| 10/6 SOFR ARM | 6.000% | 6.683% | 0.875% | +/- 5.00% | +/- 1.00% | +/- 5.00% |
APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Rates effective as of 06/26/2024. All loans are subject to approval. APR assumes a $300,000 loan amount with a FICO score of 760 or higher for a loan for an owner-occupied (primary residence), single-family dwelling in New York State with a loan-to-value ratio of 75% or less. Rates on 5/6 ARMs are fixed for the first five years and subsequently subject to change bi-annually. Rates on 10/6 ARMS are fixed for the first ten years and subsequently subject to change bi-annually.
For example, a 5/6 ARM at a fixed initial interest APR of 6.994% would initially be $1,750.72 or a 10/6 ARM at a fixed initial interest APR of 6.672%, would initially be $1,798.65, with each loan adjusting every six months after the initial term based on an index and margin. Real estate taxes, insurance, and private mortgage insurance (if applicable) are not included; therefore, the actual payment obligation will be greater. After the initial fixed term, rates will adjust based on the index, Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), and a margin. Your rate may vary based on your creditworthiness, loan amount, purpose, LTV, lock period, and other credit characteristics.
All rates and terms are subject to change without notice. No rate is guaranteed without a valid rate lock. A point is equal to 1% of the loan amount’s balance. Private mortgage insurance (PMI) is required on mortgages that exceed 80% loan-to-value (LTV). Contact a TEG Mortgage Officer for further details. Other terms and conditions may apply.

Jessica and the TEG team were extremely helpful in finding a home loan that would suit our needs. Not only was she knowledgeable, she also went above and beyond answering questions and emails after hours. We ended up doing a construction to perm loan. This being the first time my husband and I were building, we had so many questions. It was comforting to know that Jessica was able to answer our questions at any time. I would definitely recommend Jessica to anyone searching for a home loan!
