On 05/27/20 the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) Benchmark Administration published a new 10-year London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) SWAP rate1 which means reverse mortgage applicants are eligible to receive more money than they were before. The previously published rate in February already sat at a record low of 1.22%.1
These lower reverse mortgage interest rates mean that homeowners 62 and older may be able to access more cash from their home equity than ever before. Plus, unlike a traditional home equity loan or home equity line of credit (HELOC), a reverse mortgage line of credit can never be frozen or reduced if market conditions change.
