Adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) made a dramatic entry into the U.S. mortgage market subsequent to the passage of the GARN - St. Germain Depository Institutions Reform Act of 1982. By the mid 1990's over 20 percent of first mortgages were adjustable and were used across a wide range of urban market types. Going forward to 2007 the percent of families with an ARM as a first mortgage had declined to 11% and the use of ARM's was often then described as a tool for affordability - since the rates are commonly lower than for a fixed rate mortgage for a given repayment risk class of borrower. By 2013 the percent of ARMs as a first mortgage had fallen still further to just under 9%, and the use of a second mortgage had fallen as well. From the supply side the longer run attractiveness of ARMs was reduced by extensive securitization, allowing lenders to avoid correlated risk in local housing markets. Moreover, with the overall decline in mortgage rates in the context of zero lower bound conditions and low expected inflation, the spread between fixed and adjustable rates narrowed, making the 'affordability' component to ARM far less significant, though this dimension appears to continue to apply to African-American families Favorable economic conditions induce a demand for mortgages, especially by higher risk borrowers, and transactions occur at higher rates. A changing composition of the mortgage market emerges with a diverse set of borrowers actively using ARMs. Data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) for 1996, 2007 and 2013 are used to study borrowing decisions. Panel analysis confirms effects of education, non-housing wealth, expected duration at the current residence, and early financial experience in reliance on ARM mortgages.

The relative popularity of adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) and fixed-rate mortgages (FRMs) varies considerably both across countries and over time. We ask how movements in current and expected future interest rates affect the share of ARMs in total mortgage issuance. Using a nine-country panel and instrumental variables methods, we present evidence that near-term (one-year) rational expectations of future movements in ARM rates do affect mortgage choice, particularly in more recent data since 2001. However longer-term (three-year) rational forecasts of ARM rates have a relatively weak effect, and the current spread between FRM and ARM rates also matters, suggesting that households are concerned with current interest costs as well as with lifetime cost minimization. These conclusions are robust to alternative (adaptive and survey-based) models of household expectations.

Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) are loans with interest rates that change. ARMs may start with lower monthly payments than fixed-rate mortgages, but your monthly payments could change & go up -- sometimes by a lot; they may not go down much, or at all -- even if interest rates go down; you could end up owing more money than you borrowed; & if you want to pay off your ARM early to avoid higher payments, you might have to pay a penalty. The handbook explains how ARMs work & discusses some of the issues that borrowers may face. It includes ways to reduce the risks & gives some pointers about advertising & other ways you can get info. from lenders. This handbook can help you ask the right questions & figure out whether an ARM is right for you. Illus.

This paper analyzes adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) based on the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Index (EDCOFI). We study the behavior of EDCOFI over the period 1981--1993, and find that adjustments in this index lag substantially behind term structure fluctuations. We also find that the seasonality and days-in-the-month effects noted by previous authors are really symptoms of a quot;January effectquot;. Due to the lag in EDCOFI, if interest rates fall, mortgage holders may want to refinance their mortgage loans to avoid paying a coupon rate that exceeds the market rate. We develop a finite difference valuation algorithm which accounts for all usual ARM contractual features, in addition to the dynamics of EDCOFI. The advantage of our pricing algorithm over commonly used simulation strategies is that it allows us to determine endogenously the optimal prepayment strategy for mortgage holders, and hence the value of their prepayment options. We find that the dynamics of EDCOFI give significant value to this option, typically around .5 % of the remaining principal on the loan. Our algorithm permits issuers and investors in ARMs based on EDCOFI to quantify the effects of the many interacting contract features, such as reset margin, coupon rate caps and reset frequency, that determine mortgage value.

This paper estimates the determinants of households' choice between fixed rate (FRM) and adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) contracts, using the Bank of Italy's Survey of Household Income and Wealth. Contrary to the predictions of the theoretical literature, the analysis shows that most household characteristics proxying for exposure to other, non-mortgage-related risks and for individual risk aversion are irrelevant for the choice. This, in turn, crucially depends on the relative price of the mortgages and on whether the household is liquidity constrained. Liquidity constrained households find ARMs particularly attractive because their initial payments are generally lowest. This is so despite some evidence that the premium that lenders charge over their cost of funds is substantially higher on ARMs than on FRMs. Taken together, the evidence suggests that ARM holders do not fully take into account the risk of a rise of the reference interest rates. On the other hand, lenders price quite expensively this risk and borrowers end up paying a high price for the benefit of low initial payments.

This paper studies how borrowers with different levels of default risk would self-select between Fixed Rate Mortgages (FRMs) and Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs). We show that under asymmetric information, where the risk type of a borrower is private information to the borrower and not known by the lender, the unique equilibrium may be a separating equilibrium in which the high-risk (low-risk) borrowers choose ARMs (FRM's). Thus, the borrower's mortgage choice will serve as a signal of default risk, enabling lenders to screen high-risk and low-risk borrowers. It is possible for the separating equilibrium to yield positive economic profits for lenders in a competitive market. It is also possible to have a unique pooling equilibrium where all borrowers choose either FRMs or ARMs. The model implies that an increase in the proportion of high risks will increase the likelihood of a separating equilibrium where both mortgage types are offered. Also a uniform downward shift in the expected change in the interest rate or an increase in borrowers' current or future incomes make ARMs more attractive for both types of borrowers.
