DEFINITION of 'Variable Rate Mortgage'. A type of home loan in which the interest rate is not fixed. The two most common types of mortgages in the United States are fixed rate and variable rate (also called adjustable rate). With a fixed rate mortgage, the interest rate does not change for the entire loan term. Borrowers know with certainty what the interest and principal payment on their mortgage will be each month for as long as they carry the mortgage. With a variable rate mortgage, the interest rate adjusts periodically.
A variable mortgage rate is attached to Prime, which means it will fluctuate if Prime goes up or down. An open mortgage is one that can be prepaid anytime without penalty, but comes with higher rates. And a cash back mortgage gives you the option to borrow some extra cash when you buy your home. Fixed Variable Fixed-Open Variable-Open Cash Back Term: Term The mortgage term is the amount of time a home buyer commits to the rules, conditions and interest rate agreed upon with the lender. The term can be anywhere from six months to 10 years, with a 5-year mortgage term being the most common duration.
