Whether you are purchasing your first home, up-sizing, down-sizing, or refinancing, we can help you find the right mortgage.
Our online application is fast and easy, and our Mortgage Officers can assist you all along the way with a wide selection of terms and loan amounts – including jumbo and non-conforming mortgages.
Our Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARMs) start you out at a low, initial rate for a set period of years and then adjust annually. ARMs can be ideal for first-time home buyers as they may offer lower initial monthly payments than fixed-rate alternatives.
If you are looking to lock in a fixed, monthly payment for the life of your mortgage, consider one of our Fixed-Rate Mortgage options.
Do you plan to stay in your home for a short or long time? What size monthly payment can you afford? Do you want to pay off principal quickly? There are many questions to answer when selecting the right mortgage.
Try our ARM vs. Fixed-Rate Mortgage Calculator and our 15 vs. 30 year Fixed Rate Calculator to help you find the best mortgage type and term for you.
Best of all, our Mortgage Officers are available to help answer your most detailed questions.
Rates shown below were in effect on March 12, 2025 and may increase after the initial period. APR calculations are based on a down payment of 20% and a loan amount of $250,000 ($750,000 for Jumbo Mortgages) and are for example only. Payments shown are for monthly principal and interest and do not include taxes or insurance. Rates change frequently and may have changed from those below. This is not an offer of credit. Applicants must qualify. Contact a Brookline Bank Mortgage Officer for current rates.
1. APRs reflect a discount for making automatic payments from a Brookline Bank Checking Account. Rates and monthly payments will adjust after the fifth, seventh, or tenth year depending on the loan type selected, and each year thereafter. Rate adjustments are capped at 2% per adjustment and 6% for the life of the loan. Adjusted rates are based on an index of the weekly average yield on United States Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year (as published by the Federal Reserve Board in Selected Interest Rates Publication H15) plus a margin of 2.75%. Rates apply to loans for which there is a 20% down payment for purchases or a maximum of 80% financing for refinances. The payment is for monthly principal and interest only for the first five, seven, or ten years depending on which loan type selected. Property insurance is required.
2. Fully Indexed rates and payment examples are estimates of what could apply for the remaining term of the loan based on the current index. Actual interest rates and payments will adjust in accordance with the terms of the loan.
3. Terms for Jumbo ARM amounts in excess of $2,000,000 vary. Speak to a Mortgage Officer for more information.
4. Interest-Only (I/O) ARM payments require interest-only payments at the stated fixed rate for the fixed period then amortize fully using traditional mortgage-style amortization at the fully-indexed variable rate; resetting annually over the remainder of the stated loan term. This is typically 20 years of amortization on a 30 year loan after the initial 10 year interest-only period.
