Mortgages
Buying a home—first home, vacation home, dream home—may be one of the most important decisions you make. Your neighbors at Hometown Bank work hard to make home financing simple and hassle-free. We offer a variety of mortgage loans to make your new home purchase an easy one. As always, you can expect more from Hometown Bank—we make decisions locally and quickly.
Before you choose your dream home, it’s generally a good idea to meet with a lender to discuss your options and get pre-approved for a loan. You’ll gain an understanding of how much house you can afford, and this makes for a quicker closing when you finally do find that dream home.
Choose from a variety of fixed and variable rate mortgages, VA and FHA loans and more. Let us help you explore the best options to fit your needs.
To help us expedite your loan application, please bring the following documents with you when you visit us:

Hometown Bank offers fixed rate mortgages at current market rates with terms to fit your budget. You’ll know exactly what to expect every month, and your interest rate won’t change as market interest rates fluctuate. Conventional loans are available for both purchasing and refinancing a home.
Adjustable Rate Mortgages
An Adjustable Rate Mortgage, or ARM, offers a fixed rate of interest for a specified period of time. After the initial period, the interest rate, payment amount and terms can change.
FHA Mortgage loans
Fixed rate mortgages are administered by the Federal Housing Administration that typically require down payments as low as 3.5%, feature easier qualification, and offer other advantages. Let us help you determine if you qualify.
