The only thing would be if you're planning to pay them off quick, the variable would be better obviously as you're limited to a 10% prepayment per year with the 2.99% deals. Instead of paying them off early (if you elected to go with the fixed), however, you could stash the cash in a bond or other investment until the 5 years is up and use the proceeds to pay off the mortgage then, so you do have some flexibility. It's not the end of the world.
The only way the 2.99% goes lower is if the outlook declines further. Which lets all hope it doesn't. |
Prime is at 3% so the rate is actually at 2.50%.
I'd rather keep this then go to the 2.99% five year term
