That's nice. Banks here are continuously increasing rates even as the central bank rate keeps falling. -- nm - Loyola Jan 29, 07:54
"Renewal"? -- nm - Ender Jan 29, 07:29 9
- Mortgages here are only locked into an institution for a short period of time relative to the mortgage, usually 5 years. 10 year max term, I believe. -- nm - Reagen Jan 29, 07:47
- interest rate locked in for 1-2-5 years. rate is up for renegotiation...you don't have that in the US? -- nm - Beaker Jan 29, 07:43 5
  - US interest rates are locked in for the entire amortization. -- nm - Reagen Jan 29, 07:45 4
    - huh...that sucks -- nm - Beaker Jan 29, 07:48 2
      - not really - you can always refi, and having a 25 year mortgage at today's rates would be great. -- nm - Reagen Jan 29, 07:49 1
        
        yeah, i'd lock in now for the duration if that was an option. -- nm - Andie Jan 29, 07:55
    - You can get floating rates but to renegotiate you have to refinance the entire thing. -- nm - spamlet Jan 29, 07:47
- Renewal!?! I would cancel that sh!t! -- nm - Ultron Jan 29, 07:30 1
  - maybe he had a balloon ? I had that on my home mortgage because I had never financed before ... got lucky and locked it year 5 -- nm - JenBro Jan 29, 07:41
