Rise in Short Term Interest Rates Make Homeowners Rethink Their Orlando Mortgages

Historically low interest rates that led to a boom in Orlando real estate sales also led to an increased interest in adjustable rate Orlando mortgages.

But now, homeowners who decided to buy their houses using adjustable rate Orlando mortgages “may have new reason for anxiety as the Federal Reserve raised short term interest rates again.” If these increases continue, adjustable rate Orlando mortgages will soon be far less affordable than 15 or 30-year fixed-rate Orlando mortgages.

Every homeowner’s financial situation is unique, so it is important to seek the guidance of a mortgage expert who understands each homeowner’s particular situation and goals. But speaking generally, many financial experts think now is the best time to refinance to fixed-rate Orlando mortgages.
