Homeowners with existing reverse mortgages should note that these financial shifts typically do not change the terms of individual loan agreements. If you are considering a reverse mortgage, consult a qualified financial professional to discuss how current interest rate trends affect your equity.
The takeaway
Large-scale securitizations of reverse mortgages underscore the importance of tracking interest rate trends, as adjustable-rate products currently dominate this market.
