Home Loan Refinance
  

Refinancing may give you the opportunity to lower your interest rates, pay off your mortgage sooner, consolidate debt, or use the equity in your home to fund other projects.  Our mortgage lenders will help you determine whether refinancing is right for you.  If you are looking to use the equity in your home, a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) may also be an option for you.

Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)
  

Century Bank's Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) gives you the ability to use the equity in your home to secure a reusable source of cash that you can use for numerous situations.  With this product we can loan, in a combined loan amount (using your first mortgage and the HELOC) of up to 95 percent of the value of your home.  With this product we set up a line of credit that you can borrow against and repay as quickly as you would like.  An added benefit to the HELOC is that interest paid on your HELOC may be tax deductible depending on your situation (please consult your tax advisor). 

TERM - This loan is usually set with a 10 year maturity and requires monthly payments of 1.0 percent of the loan account balance.  A balloon payment may result. 

INTEREST RATE - The interest rate is variable quarterly (minimum of 5 percent with a maximum of 21 percent) and is based on the following chart:

                LOAN TO VALUE*                                                  ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE**
 
                    < 50 percent                                                                    0.25 percent

                   50-70 percent                                                                   0.75 percent

                   70-80 percent                                                                   1.00 percent

                  80-95 percent                                                                  2.00 percent

*Total of 1st Mortgage & HELOC, divided by home value
**Above New York Prime Rate

MINIMUM COMMITMENT - A minimum commitment of $5,000 is required, however, no initial advance is required.
