Adjustable rate mortgage originations are on the rise
Adjustable rate mortgage offers made to consumers searching for loans on LendingTree have zoomed in the past 12 months, increasing 230% through the first half of this year from the same period in 2021.
While still not an overwhelming share of mortgage applications, ARMs made up 9.1% of the volume for the week of July 22, down from 9.5% the prior week and compared with just 3.6% one year prior, as rising interest rates are driving consumer interest, the Mortgage Bankers Association said.
