Best Answer

The loan will either increase or decrease depending on the loan rates at the time. You should be able to refinance anytime that you want to after the first year or so without a prepayment penalty. You would want to do this because it will make your finances more stable if the rate does not fluctuate.

The rates are based on LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) which is the world's most widely used benchmark for short-term interest rates. The lender will add a percentage or two, depending on your credit score. Check around, including your current lender, to see what rate you can get.

Would banks decrease or increase interest rates if they had less money to loan?

If banks had less money to loan they would increase their interest rates. This is because they would have to make the most profit off of the little money that they had to use. When banks have a lot of money to loan, interest rates are lower because they can still get a lot of interest even from the lower interest rates.
