Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM)
Adjustable rate mortgages, or ARM, is much different from a traditional
fixed rate mortgage because the interest rate fluctuates during
the life of the loan in accordance with movements in the index
rate. Adjustable rate mortgages generally have lower initial interest
rates than fixed rate mortgages and can end up saving you a substantial
sum if rates are to remain steady or drop. On the other hand,
when financial markets are unstable, adjustable rate mortgages
can increase with little notice.
