Adjustable Rate Mortgages Bring Higher Payments as Interest Rates Rise

Easy Apps Mortgage, a mortgage broker based in Foxboro, Massachusetts with offices in Florida, is urging clients to convert their adjustable rate mortgages to fixed rate mortgages before their payments get out of hand.

Foxboro, MA (July 24, 2006) Easy Apps Mortgage, a mortgage broker based in Foxboro, Massachusetts with offices in Florida, is urging clients to convert their adjustable rate mortgages to fixed rate mortgages before their payments get out of hand.

An Adjustable rate mortgage loan, also known as an ARM, has an interest rate linked to an economic index. The interest rate, and a person's payments, are periodically adjusted up or down as the index changes.

ARMs accounted for about one third of mortgages granted in 2004 and 2005.

According to a new study by the Federal Reserve economists, many Americans are unaware of the terms of their adjustable rate mortgage and drastically underestimate the amount their loan payments may increase. For example, the principle and interest on a 30 year, $200,000 loan at 5 percent would be about $1,073 per month. At 8 percent, the same principle and interest payment jumps $400 to nearly $1,473 per month.

According to Robert David, President of Easy Apps Mortgage, now is the time to convert from an adjustable rate mortgage to a fixed rate mortgage before interest rates and payments increase. Regardless of a person's credit history, we have mortgage programs available. We realize people are more than just a credit score and we are here to help people succeed in programs to suit individual credit needs.
