This week we saw a few lenders drop down to prime + 0.15%. Nationwide variable rates haven’t been this low since last fall.6 g( O% I9 X; L, }5 G- e7 ?) i

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.4 j4 ] d3 i( R: b2 y9 l
You might ask yourself, “Why would I want a variable term under five years?” 1 w. E( F% G Q# |4 B! W' u
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).# O) F6 ]& ]5 J3 B9 i' r1 Y. {8 O
