Almost all mortgage and refinance rates have risen since last week. The exception is rates on 15-year fixed mortgages, which have ticked down marginally. Overall, rates remain at historical lows.
If you want to get a mortgage or refinance, you may consider a fixed-rate mortgage because you’ll earn a lower interest rate than you would with an adjustable-rate mortgage. You won’t have to fret over a future rate increase with an ARM and you can lock in a low rate for the long term.
Experts told Insider that fixed-rate mortgages are probably a better deal for some borrowers now compared to adjustable-rate mortgages.
In general, rates are at all-time lows, which frequently signifies an economy in disarray. As the US continues to handle the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, rates will probably stay low.
