Variable rate mortages. When the prime rate change, how long is it past my mortgage is artificial?
Answers:
next month. Now if it is an ARM that all depends on your register. Most of these are on the LIBOR or some other index. Variables are mostly with HELOC's and based on prime as published within the "wall Street Journal" on the first business day of every month on your outstanding balance

Well, it depends on the terms of your loan as written surrounded by your contract document known as the "note". For example, if your loan only change once every 6 months or once every year, then your mortgage will only coppers at that point in time, regardless of when prime rate changes. If you own a fixed period arm where the first adapt doesn't take effect until say 3, 5 or 7 years from the initial date of the loan, next your rate will not change for that period of time.
Typically, the single monthly adjustable rate loans are lines of credit, not 1st mortgages or the initial loan taken out when you purchase a home. If you do have a monthly adjustable rate loan, and it adjusts base on the index "prime rate" then you will see a change the terrifically next month. However, your loan will adjust based on a specific index such as "libor", "t-bills", "cofi", and etc, and not necessarily the prime rate.
You should consult your loan documents to see the times when your loan will adjust and which index your loan is tied to. Source(s): I am an underwriter
It depends on if your rate varies month to month or every 6 months.
