Thinking about an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage? Read This First.

For the right buyer, ARMs can offer some big advantages. But they’re not one-size-fits-all. The key is understanding how they work, weighing the pros and cons, and thinking through if they’d be something that would work for you financially. And that’s why you need to talk to a trusted lender and financial advisor before you make any decisions.

You may have heard inventory just hit a post-pandemic high. And nationally, it’s up more than 30% from this time last year.

That might have made you start to worry: “does this mean the market is going to crash?” Here’s some perspective that can help.

Even with that jump (shown in the white line), we’re still well below normal levels (the gray lines in the graph). And beyond that, we’ve been in a housing shortage for years because builders haven’t been able to keep up with demand.

So, rising inventory isn’t a warning sign – it’s a signal the housing market is finally returning to a more stable, healthy place.

Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) can offer lower upfront payments. That’s why more buyers are giving them a second look these days.

But with an ARM, once the fixed period ends, your rate can change – which means your monthly payment will too. And there’s a chance it goes up. So, you need to be financially prepared for that.

And just in case the 2008 crash comes to mind when you think of ARMs, know this: today’s ARMs are different. Lending standards are tighter now.

If you think an ARM might be right for you, make sure to talk with a lender to understand your options and assess your risk tolerance.
