Mortgage Rates

Fixed Rate Mortgages

The conventional, long-term, fixed-rate mortgage is the most well-known type of home mortgage loan, with an interest rate that remains constant for the entire term of the mortgage, and monthly principal and interest payment amounts that also remain the same.

View Current Rates

Adjustable Rate Mortgages

Adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) offer a beginning interest rate, which is typically lower than the rate on a fixed-rate mortgage. This means your monthly payment will initially be lower, and therefore, more affordable for first-time home buyers, as well as for those who want the lowest possible mortgage payment. With the added feature of rate caps, the adjustable mortgage has become very popular and preferred by many customers. Be sure to note the term before the first adjustment, however, as rates can increase with the market.

Government Agency Mortgages

Home Federal Bank offers mortgage loans sponsored by both state and federal housing agencies, including the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Veterans Administration (VA), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA).

Construction/Permanent Loans

The Construction/Permanent Loan (C/Perm), is popular among individuals building a new home. This loan combines the features of a construction loan with permanent financing, enabling a single closing. This type of combined loan saves you time and added expense that would typically be associated with separate loans and two closings.
