WTF Is Happening To The Housing Market?! Episode 21
from The News Minute USA · host Daniel M. Johnson
MORTGAGE PORTABILITY (PORTING) A newly discussed idea would allow homeowners to transfer their existing mortgage (and interest rate) to a new property. For example, a 3% loan on a current home could be carried over to a more expensive home, with the borrower taking out an additional loan only for the difference. This could unlock frozen inventory by encouraging owners with low fixed rates to move again. Existing homeowners benefit the most, while first-time buyers could see more listings hit the market.
