Description
Many Americans took advantage of historically low mortgage rates during the pandemic. But for homeowners who opted for adjustable-rate mortgages, those savings might not last.

And with refinancing no longer offering the same relief it once did, some homeowners could find themselves facing a difficult financial decision.
