Housing

Fixed versus floating mortgage rates

Compare payment certainty and rate-change exposure, not a forecast of which will win.

Fixed

Payments are easier to plan for the fixed period; the starting rate may differ from floating offers.

Floating

The rate and future payment can change under product rules. Stress-test higher rates and read reset rules.
