Nearly 40% of property owners face mortgage rate resets in the next six months

Nearly 40% of property owners face a mortgage rate reset within the next six months. In response, many borrowers are shifting from shorter terms to two-year fixed rates to gain stability, despite facing a small immediate rate rise. While higher costs are coming, a massive, sudden spike in mortgage rates currently seems unlikely.
