$5003 Off Mortgage Origination Fee for First-Time Homebuyers

First-time homebuyers can qualify to receive $500 off mortgage origination fees from May 1, 2025-July 31, 2025, when you meet promo requirements.

Who Qualifies as a "First-time Homebuyer?"

A first-time homebuyer is a person who is buying a principal residence for the first time, or who has not owned a home in the last three years.

The mortgage applicant must be a first-time homebuyer. However, they do not have to apply for a mortgage through our First-Time Homebuyer program. All our mortgages are eligible for this promotion. As long as the applicant selects that they are a first-time homebuyer in the application and meets all promo requirements, they can qualify to receive the discount.

Our Mortgage Process

  • After you submit your mortgage application, a PSECU mortgage consultant will review your application. We’ll answer any questions you may have and, if you're qualified, provide you with a prequalification letter if you’re purchasing a home. The prequalification letter lets you know exactly how much house you can afford and helps you make a strong bid to the seller.

    Once you find the right house and go under contract, we can move forward in the loan process. At this time, you provide more detailed financial information. Throughout the process, our mortgage consultants will keep you up to date regarding the status of your loan to make sure everything is on track. After closing, we’ll service your loan through the life of your mortgage.

  • We will finance properties that are:
    • Located in the state of Pennsylvania
    • Recorded with PSECU listed as first lien holder. The property secures your mortgage loan.
    • Titled after purchase in the name(s) of individual(s), not a trust
    • Owner-occupied homes, vacation homes, or residential non-owner occupied properties with one, two, three, or four units. Some exceptions apply.
    • Condominiums or residences within a Planned Unit Development (PUD) that meet certain criteria. Please contact our mortgage consultants for more information.

    We will not finance properties that are:
    • Single-wide manufactured homes
    • Timeshares
    • Not in acceptable marketable condition
    • Non-owner-occupied condo or manufactured homes
    • Located outside Pennsylvania
  • You may request to waive an escrow account if the loan-to-value (LTV) is 80% or lower, taxes and insurance have been paid timely in the past, and you have the ability to pay them on your own.

Mortgage Definitions

  • Fixed-rate mortgages have a fixed interest rate for the life of the loan. The monthly payment for principal and interest on a fixed-rate loan stays the same every month for the term of the loan. 

    You have the option to buy down the interest rate by paying discount points upfront. You can choose to lock in your interest rate once you’ve signed a sales agreement, or wait until closer to closing.

  • Our adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) offer a competitive starting rate that is fixed for either 1, 3, 5, or 7 years, depending on the terms of the loan. After the initial fixed period, and each year thereafter, the interest rate will either remain the same, increase, or decrease based on the current rate environment at that time. Caps for the adjustable-rate mortgages are 1/5, which means your interest rate will not adjust more than 1% up or down per year after the initial fixed-rate period. The rate will increase no more than 5% from the initial rate over the life of the loan. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.

  • Each point is equal to one percent of the loan amount. The cost of points is added onto closing costs and may buy down to a lower interest rate than what is posted. Please contact a mortgage consultant for more information.
  • Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is generally required for loans with a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio greater than 80%. This coverage helps protect the lender in case you can't make your payments and default on the loan. PMI makes it possible for borrowers with small down payments to buy a home.
