The Bubble Meter Philosophy
The best way to get the housing market thriving again is to drop prices to the point where supply equals demand. Home sellers might not like it, but it's good for buyers and it's great for Realtors.
For Realtors, the best way to make more money is to sell houses quickly, and the best way to sell houses quickly is to convince the seller to drop the price.

The interest rate is fixed for the first 5 years then adjusts according to market conditions.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who has had a 30FMR for the last 5 years converted to current 1ARM rates will enjoy a substantially reduced payment.
ReplyDeleteMore specifically, anyone who has had a 5/1ARM for the last 5 years will have their monthly payment reduced if converted to 1ARM rates even remotely close to todays rate.
