Abstract

The Bank of Canada's decision to cut its key interest rate target has led to a resurgence in popularity for variable-rate mortgages. When interest rates were lowered in 2020, variable-rate mortgages became more attractive, but as rates increased in 2022, their popularity declined. However, with the recent rate cuts and the possibility of further cuts, borrowers are once again considering variable-rate mortgages. These mortgages also offer advantages such as lower penalties for breaking the mortgage before the term is up. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Our study uses a multinomial logit model to analyze the concurrent termination experience of adjustable-rate and fixed-rate mortgages. A new set of ARM-specific interactive determinants expands the conventional FRM specification to isolate the unique termination behavior of ARMs. We find that expected rate adjustments and large lifetime caps are positively related to ARM termination probabilities while long adjustment frequencies are inversely related. Caps, both periodic and lifetime, have a secondary, inverse effect on termination probabilities when interest-rate movements exceed cap limits. The model also shows that interest-rate expectations affect FRM terminations more strongly than ARM terminations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
