What Happens When Market Trust Breaks?

Portable mortgages let homeowners transfer an existing low-rate loan to a newly purchased property.

When upgrading to a pricier home, borrowers must cover cost differences with cash or higher-rate loans.

The U.S. lacks portable mortgages due to long loan terms and reliance on mortgage-backed securities.

While helpful for current owners, portable mortgages may raise home prices and offer minimal benefit to newcomers.
