Lots of people thought 3.5% was too high and it would go back down. So they signed variable rate mortgages and their payments kept going up, especially if they didn’t pay extra off.
If they’re able to keep their house, they usually don’t understand that rent has still increased faster.
There were people getting variable rate mortgages when fixed rates were at record lows? I guess I’ve just never understood the appeal of variable rate, either. I don’t want my mortgage to fluctuate, makes it more difficult to budget.
Yep, you can always refinance at a lower rate if it actually does go down substantially.
You don’t even have to switch lenders, they know they’ll lose you if they dont
There’s zero reason for variable rate. Lock that shit down.
