Summary

AI-generated

The MOVE Act is a proposed bill in Congress designed to allow homeowners to transfer their existing low mortgage interest rates, terms, and balances to a new property purchase. This 'portability' aims to unlock housing inventory by removing the financial disincentive for homeowners with low rates to sell and move.

Key insights

  • Mortgage portability would allow the transfer of the existing interest rate, terms, and remaining balance specifically for qualifying conventional loans.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Assuming that the MOVE Act is already law; it was only introduced in the House in August 2026 and has not yet passed.
