    -I think there are inflationary pressures building up
    -the situation in Iran
    -even if interest rates stayed the same now there wouldn't be much difference between fixed and variable rates
    -may have kids in the next couple of years and would want the security of fixed payments

    Better safe then sorry take the low fixed rate now, as you are insuring against future volatility and reducing your risk.
