Adjustable Rate Mortgages are making a comeback.

The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has been hovering above 5% for more than a month, taking a toll on prospective homebuyers. While many hopeful buyers have bowed out of the market for now, some are exploring what once seemed like an unlikely option: adjustable rate mortgages, or ARMs.

The cost of financing a home has risen so much, so fast that many buyers can't afford to buy a home with a traditional fixed-rate mortgage. The typical monthly payment on an average priced home with a 30-year fixed rate loan and 20% down is more than $600 higher now than at the start of this year -- a 44% increase on principal and interest payments, according to Black Knight, a mortgage data firm.
While ARMs got a bad name during the housing meltdown of the late 2000s, stricter regulations and more transparency have made them less risky than they used to be. And ARMs typically offer lower rates, at least at first. While the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was 5.23% last week, a 5-year ARM was more than a percentage point lower at 4.12%, according to Freddie Mac.

Digging the hole deeper.

That’s a bad bet right now.

Let me know when I can get one of those sweet balloon payment mortgages.

Have we learned nothing since 2008?

Hell yeah, I got a bunch of cash ready for foreclosures in the next three years.

When I bought my home back in 2001 I had a 5/1 ARM - I chose it because I hadn't lived anywhere for more than a couple of years. I ended up refinancing a few years later into a 30 year, then a few years later into a 15. I'm still living in a house over 20 years later that I thought I'd live in for less than 5 years. Paid the thing off in December of last year. ARMs can be useful in certain instances.

I’ve been advising clients to check their current mortgages with their lenders to see if they can be assumed. Not something people were thinking about when rates were 2-3%, but with rates going up their homes can command a higher price if they do

My bet is you are in the small percentage of people who have pulled an adjustable rate mortgage off in a positive fashion...at lease since the turn of the century.

Adjustable rate in the age of rising rates? No thank you.
