This week we saw a few lenders drop down to prime + 0.15%. Nationwide variable rates haven’t been this low since last fall.7 [( k' F# H9 P5 _: @1 s+ N1 Z8 r

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.

9 ^: }# o1 \# R9 V2 zThe 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).

What’s more, these shorter-term variables are priced a little better than 5-year variables (2.40% for a 3-year versus 2.45% to 2.65% for a 5-year). |
