Yes, well, the hiccup in your plan is someone voluntarily going from a 2.5% mortgage to a 4% mortgage.

The incentive you would have to offer would erase most of that $100,000 difference you pulled out of a hat.



I’m not sure it’s quite that simple.

I got a mortgage at 3% some years ago for an apartment. Since then we’ve had two kids and paid off a chunk of the mortgage with our monthly payments. At this stage in my life I’d absolutely be looking to convert that into buying a larger home and would be happy to pay a higher rate for it to happen. But not literally double, which is where rates are today.


The incentive is the ability to move to a city with jobs without having to take on a 7% mortgage.
