feature an interest rate that periodically adjusts with changing market rates.
An Adjustable Rate Mortgage is available in government, conforming and jumbo loan
amounts. The ARM allows you to take advantage of lower interest rates in a
falling rate environment, and you'll benefit from lower monthly payments. The
initial interest rate on an ARM is usually lower than the lifetime interest rate
on a fixed rate mortgage . ARM interest rates and the degree to which they
fluctuate at the end of every adjustment period.
In a speech to a
credit union group, Fed Chairman Alan
Greenspan questioned whether
fixed-rate mortgages were the most cost-effective means of financing a home
purchase. He said "American homeowners clearly like the certainty of fixed
mortgage payments" but pay several thousands of dollars a year for the benefits.
Greenspan said
homeowners "might have saved tens of thousands of dollars had they held
adjustable-rate mortgages rather than fixed-rate mortgages during the past
decade"
Greenspan noted that if homeowners are "willing to manage their own
interest-rate risks, the traditional fixed-rate mortgage may be an expensive
method of financing a home." Feb. 24, 2004
