“Homeowners with fixed-rate mortgages—which is most borrowers in the US—won’t see their rates change,” says Daniel Burnside, a clinical professor of finance at Simon Business School. He added that the one way a homeowner could see their mortgage payment drop is if mortgage rates go down, and then you refinance, “which comes with costs and only makes sense if the rate drop is significant.”
