Adjustable rate mortgages are home mortgages that have fluctuating interest rates, usually in relation to an index. With most ARM's, the interest rates and payments change either every year, three years, or five years. Some do change more frequently than others, however. The period between one change of rates and the next is known as the "adjustment period." Adjustable rate mortgages are often easier on your bank account as lenders generally charge lower rates for them.
