    Yup. Bought at the end of 2019, refinanced in late 2020. Currently have a 15 year mortgage at a fixed 2.1% APR. I literally cannot afford to give this up.

    It’s less that I want to leave this house, specifically, and more that I just want out of this state. For multiple reasons unrelated to my good mortgage deal, I’m stuck here for the foreseeable future.

    On the bright side, I never thought I’d actually own a house so I’ll take the win.

      Ditto. 2.6%. Car loan at 3.2%. Can’t afford a new car, can’t afford to move these days. Yeah, it’s hard to bitch when you’re glad to have a home, but it’s a figurative “house arrest” when market forces trap you.

        I haven’t heard of having to renew mortgage interest rates. A fixed interest rate should be good for the life of the loan.

        I’m at 2.875% on a 25-year loan. I never plan on moving.
