Variable-rate mortgages are inching closer and closer to prime.* c1 g1 h2 D/ U; B7 P

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.# n/ o+ W& F1 m7 K' O
You might ask yourself, “Why would I want a variable term under five years?”
' G- e$ y7 H% lThe 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).
