Conventional Mortgages
Whether it's your first home or fifth investment property, Deseret First helps you secure the right financing. With competitive rates, down payments as low as 3%, and local underwriting, we provide mortgages that fit your goals and your budget. From starter homes to luxury investments, our lending team understands the local market and walks with you through every step.
For buyers who want stability, a fixed-rate mortgage locks in today's rate for the life of the loan. Your monthly payment will never change, making it easier to plan and build long-term equity. Terms are available for 10, 15, 20, or 30 years, and qualified buyers can put down as little as 3%. Conventional loan limits go up to $766,550, with high-balance options available up to $1,149,825.

If you plan to move within a few years or expect your income to grow, an adjustable-rate mortgage can maximize your buying power. ARMs start with a lower fixed rate for 5, 7, or 10 years, then adjust with the market. They require a minimum 5% down payment and often provide significant savings during the initial period—ideal for shorter ownership timelines or strategic buyers.

DFCU finances more than just primary residences. Whether you're purchasing a vacation cabin, an investment property, or a high-value home requiring jumbo financing, we have solutions tailored to your needs. With one lender handling all property types, you simplify your borrowing process and keep everything under one roof.

Our mortgage officers live and work in Utah communities, so lending decisions are made here—not in a distant call center. You'll benefit from fast pre-approvals, in-person consultations at any branch, and dedicated support from your first application through closing. It's mortgage lending with a personal touch, built on relationships and trust.

Shopping is easier when you know your numbers. Our mortgage calculator estimates your monthly payment by factoring in principal, interest, taxes, and insurance. You can also test down payment scenarios to see how extra cash upfront lowers your monthly costs, and compare fixed versus ARM options to find your best fit. Pre-qualification is available to help you shop with confidence.
