New Jersey Prepayment Penalty Update

Effective immediately, Arc Home LLC is revising the eligibility on prepayment penalties for mortgage loans originated in New Jersey.  

Specifically, unless the borrower is a C-Corporation, prepayment penalties are not permitted on investment property loans.  

 

Loans locked before July 21, 2025, with a prepayment penalty will retain their current pricing, including the prepayment adjustment.  

Re-locks and lock extensions will not be permitted for these loans after that date.

 

After the results of a recent compliance assessment and, following legal consultation and interpretation of guidance from the New Jersey Department of Banking & Insurance,

it has been determined that Individuals, LLCs, LPs, and Trusts are governed by N.J.S.A 46:10B-2, which restricts the

imposition of prepayment penalties on these borrower types.
