adjustable-rate mortgages
Fluctuating home loans
Adjustable-rate mortgages are home loans whose interest rates change periodically based on market conditions, unlike fixed-rate mortgages that lock in one rate for the loan's duration.
They typically start with lower rates that adjust after an initial period: Their ARM reset after five years and the payments jumped.
Often abbreviated ARM.
