If you could predict where the interest rates were heading you would make a fortune investing in bonds, interest-rate futures, and options.
Even the money-management pros who work with interest rates and bonds as a full-time job can't consistently predict interest rates.
So ask yourself this instead - how long do you expect to stay in the home or hold the mortgage?
If you don't plan or expect to stay in your home for a long time, you may want to consider an ARM.
If you expect to hold onto your home and mortgage for a long time - more than 5 years - a fixed-rate loan may make more sense, especially when you're not in a position to withstand the fluctuating monthly payments that come with an ARM.
As always, speak to a lender and decide what works best for you and your scenario.
