  • Just wondering what everyone thinks is the best option 

    Thanks
  • Only you can answer that. But you need to think about a few things.

    What's the difference in rates?

    How large is your mortgage? Does a small percentage difference have much of an impact?

    What do you think rates will do in 5 years?

    What are the chances you'll need to move?

    What's your risk appetite?
