In response to "After seeing what's transpired in the last 3 years, why would you get a home variable rate? -- nm" by Will Hunting

Because variables almost always work out better then fixed rates and the last three weeks the rates have dropped 75 points....

thats saved me over $100 per month in mortgage payments (or will save me once I actually start paying).

I budgeted for the higher rates and can do the fixed but the fixed rates right now are almost 1.5% higher then the variables. If I can can budget for the ups and downs of interest rates, variable mortgages almost always cost less than fixed. Well at least they do in Canada.
