Mortgage Insider Edition

The timeless question remains: should clients choose a fixed or variable-rate mortgage? With today’s market uncertainty, the answer isn’t straightforward. Bond yields and variable rate margins continue fluctuating, adding complexity to the decision. For clients and mortgage professionals, a holistic approach is essential. Reviewing all details and long-term goals ensures the best recommendation for fixed or variable rates.
