Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Adjustable rate mortgages are a home mortgage loan with an interest rate
that gets adjusted during the life of the loan.
When seeking a home mortgage loan you will have a choice of adjustable rate mortgage, like we described above, or a fixed rate mortgage. Unlike an adjustable mortgage, a fixed rate mortgage will remain at the same interest rate for the entire life of the loan. Before choosing an adjustable rate mortgage, it is important to understand that they have both advantages and disadvantages and the choice of which type of mortgage is best for you will be largely determined by the current market as well as your own situation. Advantages of Choosing an Adjustable Rate Mortgage.By far, the greatest advantage of an adjustable rate mortgage is that is usually offered at a lower interest rate than a fixed rate mortgage loan. Because the mortgage lender does not have to guarantee the interest rate for the entire life of the loan, he or she is much freer to offer the lowest possible interest rate. Therefore, if you do not intend to hold your mortgage for more than a few years, it might be worthwhile to choose an adjustable rate mortgage and get the lowest rate possible.There is another advantage to an adjustable rate mortgage, but it is present only in a high interest rate market. If you are securing a mortgage during a time when the mortgage rate being offered is high, by choosing a fixed rate mortgage you would be locked to that high rate for the entire life of the loan. If you choose an adjustable rate mortgage; however, when the market comes back down, your mortgage rate will come down as well.
