If you could take your 3% mortgage with you to the next house — would you move?
That’s a portable mortgage. You sell, you buy, you keep your rate, remaining balance, and term.
You cannot do this in the U.S. right now. Your loan is tied to the house, not to you.
Congress introduced a bill on August 3 (H.R. 10028, the MOVE Act). If it ever became law, Fannie and Freddie would have to start buying portable conventional mortgages. As of today it has been referred to committee. It is not law. There is no program you can apply for.
Don’t pause a real move in Cedar City, Hurricane, or St. George waiting on Washington.
