Ask Kate about Adjustable Rate Mortgages or Fixed Rate, which is the best home loan: Hi Kate, I'm unsure which would be best for me, adjustable rate home loan or fixed rate mortgage. The dilemma: I'm retiring in less than a year.

Dennis W. continues... I owe 137k. My monthly house payments are 2850. I plan to sell my home ASAP but don't want to "give it away" to the awful economy.

A 7 year adjustable rate mortgage at 3.25 will give me a payment of $604 for the first 7 years. But I'm not sure if the price of homes will go up in time.
