- T2 U6 _3 N7 a( C' ^( ]' |6 NThere's also a big trend towards variable rates. 40% of mortgages were variable in the past year. In CAAMP's 2007 report the number was just 21%. CAAMP says that's because "consumers may be expecting interest rate reductions." We'd also like to think they're becoming more educated about the long-term advantage of variable rates.( f' A+ u9 j, V" y" T, s6 z( h! d; E
