When it\u2019s time to meet with their mortgage experts and apply\nfor loans, most home shoppers accept mortgages with fixed interest rates. When\nthey do, the interest rates are locked in throughout the life of their loans. That\u2019s\na good thing, of course, if interest rates are low when the buyers get their\nloans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) can seem complex and\nunpredictable by comparison. At its outset, the common \u201chybrid\u201d adjustable-rate\nmortgage starts with a low, fixed teaser rate that the borrower keeps for a\ncertain period \u2014 normally three, five, seven, or ten years. Then, it becomes\nadjustable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the initial, fixed-rate period, the payment is\nrecalibrated based on the current interest rates and following the terms set\nout in the mortgage. Often this is done annually. An ARM could be written as\n5\/1, for example, meaning the borrower enjoys a low, fixed rate for a five-year\nperiod, and after that, mortgage payments will be adjusted every year. So, a borrower\nwho goes to the adjustable rate has to make higher or lower monthly payments as\ninterest rates fluctuate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An adjustable-rate mortgage typically puts a limit (cap) on\nthe homeowner\u2019s payment increases. Nevertheless, there\u2019s an element of risk in\na variable rate. It\u2019s possible that the borrower will have to make much larger\nmonthly payments in later years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s turn to why some home buyers choose adjustable-rate\nloans despite this risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Strategic Borrowing: An Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Has Its Selling Points.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Home buyers who choose mortgages with adjustable interest rates\nhave a variety of rationales for doing so. Here are six reasons why the ARM could\nbe a sensible option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. To make the house purchase possible. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Buyers sometimes want to bid on more expensive homes then\nthey could otherwise get. The borrower starting off with a bargain interest rate\nthrough an adjustable-rate mortgage is eligible for a bigger purchase. If the\nrates begin to rise later, the buyer may decide to refinance the house with a new,\nfixed-rate loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. In anticipation of a rising income. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A buyer might need a low rate at first, while expecting to move\ninto a good position to refinance later. This could be due to a coming rise in\nincome, or an expected cash windfall such as money from retirement funds or even\nan inheritance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. To boost the value of real estate\ninvestments.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Interest increases the cost of buying property. For this\nreason, some investors employ the ARM as a strategy to lower the total interest\nthey pay, and strengthen their real estate portfolios. These investors watch interest\nrates and time the refinancing of their loans. Financial planners can guide\nborrowers making large real estate deals to save significant amounts of money with\nARMs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. To boost the value of financial accounts.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By obtaining lower starting rates, some buyers leverage variable-rate\ndebt in order to pay off other debt, or build emergency funds. Or perhaps they\nprefer to leave more money in their retirement accounts. If their stock\nportfolios stop beating the mortgage rate, these owners pay off their\nmortgages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. To make lower mortgage payments in\nanticipation of a move. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Others might be planning a move a few years after buying. They\nobtain an ARM so they can make lower payments than they otherwise would have\nhad, until the time they\u2019re ready to move. In this situation, a 30-year, fixed-rate\nmortgage isn\u2019t optimal, given that they\u2019ll be paying so much in interest rates\nand gaining relatively little in equity during the first few years of a\nmortgage loan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. To get an earlier release from private\nmortgage insurance. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A buyer who doesn\u2019t put 20% down has to deal with private\nmortgage insurance (PMI) payments along with paying the mortgage principal and\ninterest. By taking the ARM and getting a low interest rate, this buyer might\nbe positioned to make extra payments on the loan principal, build up 20% equity\nin the house quickly, and ask the lender to remove the PMI.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u261b Like\nother mortgage\ninsurance<\/a>, PMI protects the mortgage lender. PMI is designed to\ncover the lender\u2019s risk of borrower default. Learn more here about private\nmortgage insurance<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still other buyers invest in property categories outside of\nthe conventional mortgage sphere, where adjustable rates are the customary way\nof doing business. So, an ARM could be necessary \u2014 or it could just be strategically\npreferable to a fixed-interest loan. ARMs can be an option for home buyers who\nplan to pay off the loan in a few years \u2014 whether for strategic investing, due\nto an impending move, or an in anticipation of a rise in income. Your financial\nconsultant or mortgage specialist can go over the opportunities and risks with\nyou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro tip:<\/em><\/strong> Some ARMs will slap on a prepayment\npenalty for selling or refinancing. Buyers might wish to avoid these\nstipulations, and should ask their mortgage experts to carefully explain the\nterms of any proposed loan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interest Rates Were Not Always This Low: Remember the 80s? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Image<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In earlier decades, interest rates were much higher than\nthey are today. A 12.5 or 13% fixed mortgage rate was the norm back in the\nearly 80s! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buyers who get ARMs during times of high rates could see\ntheir monthly mortgage payments drop, as they did from the 1980s on. In this\nway, some borrowers have taken advantage of downward shifts into low-interest\nenvironments with no need to refinance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, back in the late 70s and early 80s, when ARMs were\nintroduced, fixed-rate mortgage loans were beyond the financial reach of many\nhome buyers. By the mid-80s, rates had begun their long journey downward, until\nthey touched down below 3% in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, in 2021, we\u2019re enjoying a low-interest environment. So,\nthe big question is this. Should a prospective homeowner go for a changeable rate\nwhen interest\nrates are poised to rise<\/a>? Generally, the answer is no. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Be the Right Home Loan for You?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Getting an adjustable rate today would mean having to\nanticipate a likely climb in interest rates \u2014 and that means rising monthly\npayments. But as we\u2019ve shown, there are still at least six scenarios where the\nARM could prove its strategic value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, ARMs are more complex<\/a> than fixed-rate mortgage loans. The way they are structured can cause plenty of questions and issues for home buyers who are not used to them, and are unprepared to handle the risks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Say interest rates keep rising, and a hot market abruptly cools.\nThat\u2019s when an ARM presents challenges. In such an environment it becomes\nharder for buyers to refinance or sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the worst-case scenario? The fixed \u201cteaser rate\u201d\nexpires. The mortgage payment is adjusted up. The homeowner has trouble making\nthe higher payments, and now risks losing the house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, could an adjustable-rate mortgage be right for you? The\nanswer is\u2026 It\u2019s complicated. We hope this exploration offers some insights into\nwhy that is. To really make an educated assessment, speak with a professional\nabout your own situation, future plans, and financial goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
