Variable-rate mortgages are inching closer and closer to prime.

/ {/ j6 j1 L5 a5 r" wThis week we saw a few lenders drop down to prime + 0.15%. Nationwide variable rates haven’t been this low since last fall.

Merix and MCAP were among the lenders cutting rates this week. Each is now offering prime + 0.15%, on 3-year and 32-month terms respectively.& y U0 v1 ?: p7 S- G& n0 f$ j
You might ask yourself, “Why would I want a variable term under five years?”
) Q8 c* ~, a1 r+ q9 d' d% W; hThe answer is based on the belief that variable-rate mortgages will once again be offered at discounts to prime. If that occurs in the next 3 years, then a 36-month term lets you reduce your rate quicker than if you were locked into a 5-year term (unless you broke early and paid the penalty, of course).+ z& t1 f4 E: |/ A# i2 H
$ H! q0 q+ f5 g* f, R& vWhat’s more, these shorter-term variables are priced a little better than 5-year variables (2.40% for a 3-year versus 2.45% to 2.65% for a 5-year). |
