With mortgage rates hanging around the lowest point that they have been since the beginning of this year and foreclosures on the rise now is the best time to refinance your mortgage if you have an ARM.  ARM's are much more expensive and volatile and now is the perfect time to lock your rate in a fixed rate mortgage. Many people opted for ARM's a few years ago when the rates were super low and they probably saved a large amount of money because of it.  But now that ARM rates have inched up and fixed rates are at a reasonable level, the option to refinance to a FRM could be a much more stable decision.  You could also save a lot of money in the long run.  Late payments on ARM's have been increasing lately in California and many cannot handle the financial burden an ARM brings.  Switching to a fixed rate mortgage may be the only thing keeping you from foreclosure. There are many ways to package a fixed rate mortgage plan.  For some people this may be the only way to keep them from breaking the bank.  It would be wise to discuss your options with a trusted mortgage consultant if you are having trouble paying your ARM.
