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.7 n. N/ q$ O1 t6 M
You might ask yourself, “Why would I want a variable term under five years?” ' [8 M4 l: G; `, |# w& T) O1 L! Z
The 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).7 V9 q2 ~# @' A3 h( N
