Planning to purchase a home as your holiday gift to yourself and your family? You might want to consider getting a mortgage with Affinity Plus Credit Union. Their current rate for a 30 year fixed mortgage is at 4.195% APR which is a fair rate. Although there are other providers who can offer a lower interest rate, there are some perks which just might make you want to seal the deal with them.

Should you decide to get a mortgage with Affinity Plus, there are two options you can choose from to make the loan burden lesser for you. First, you can choose to have no closing costs but your APR will increase by 0.25%, or you can opt for a reduced closing cost of $1,499 and have no rate increase.

This offer is valid only for a first time mortgage and all loan products will be subject to approval.
