Alicia Hodenfield’s Interest Rate Update–It’s a matter of trust or “Where’s the bottom?”
February 16th, 2008 . by Mike KellyRates as of 2/15/08
ARMS are priced very competitively today! ARMs are Fixed for a period and then adjust after that fixed period to the current 1 year LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25% (Today the 1 year LIBOR is 2.730%) with a cap rate, depending on the loan, of 5 or 6% over the initial rate, example if today’s rate is 5.125% and the rate should go up to the maximum rate of 5% over the initial rate, it would be 10.125%. Depending on how long the borrower plans on being on the home and how comfortable they feel with risk, the ARM’s could be a great option. Today’s rates quoted are a small sample of current rates (quoted as of 10:15am) – all quoted without points- call me about rates with point(s), different loan products and requirements!
