ICE Mortgage Monitor flagged renewed adjustable-rate mortgage demand as rising fixed rates pushed ARM share above 11% of rate locks. ICE’s Conforming 30-year Fixed Rate Index hit 7.2% on Sept. 24, lifting borrower interest in lower initial ARM payments. Active first-lien ARMs rose to 3.1 million, the highest in 5.5 years, though they remain 5.6% of active mortgages. Only 1.05 million ARMs have reached their first reset, the lowest in more than 25 years, limiting near-term payment shock. About 74,000 7-year ARMs from 2020 are set to reset in 2027, with a median payment increase of USD 1,066.
