Two Million Adjustable Mortgages to Reset

You heard right, over the next few months, TWO MILLION mortgates will reset:

Borrowers who took out hybrid ARMs in 2004 and 2005 to secure low “teaser” rates for the first two or three years of the loan may see their monthly mortgage payments climb by 35 percentor more.

….

“In October alone more than $50 billion in ARMs will reset,” according to Mark Zandi, chief economist and co-founder of Moody’s Economy.com. That’s a record, according to Zandi.

I paid 20% down in 2004 for a 30 year fixed.
I fully expect to be under water at some point in the near future, dispite the fact that the value increased by over 40% from 2004-2006.
