Ep 10: The Resurgence of Adjustable-Rate Mortgages
Manage episode 324842363 series 3012587
With inventory still low, the market is still rough out there for buyers. At the same time, interest rates are rising with inflation proving to be a bigger issue than anticipated. On today’s episode, we are going to discuss a CBS article that relates to some of these issues. With rising interest rates are borrowers returning to adjustable-rate mortgages, a staple of the 2008 housing market crash?
We’ve certainly been asked about these mortgages more recently as people try to maintain the interest rates we saw 6 months ago. But when we go through the full analysis there’s not enough disparity between a fixed rate and an adjusted rate to make a lot of sense right now. Join us today as we discuss adjustable-rate mortgages, how they impact the market, and what we can expect to see going into the future.
