The best mortgage rates for the short term
If you think you might move within 10 years or want lower monthly payments upfront, consider a 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM). You'll lock in a low fixed interest rate for the first five years, along with fixed payments.
Once the fixed term expires, the rates adjust every year. (That’s the “one” in 5/1.) The variable rate allows for a longer repayment period than with a fixed-rate mortgage, which could result in a lower monthly payment.
