What are golden handcuffs?

The term “golden handcuffs” sounds pretty spicy but in the world of real estate, it refers to a situation homeowners find themselves in when they feel forcibly tied to their current property. In our current market, incredibly low interest rates on their mortgages are making some homeowners feel like they’re in a lose-lose game of residence roulette. There are many situations that can require a homeowner to need to vacate their home such as a new job in a new city; a divorce; illness that causes a loss of income temporarily.

Sometimes, though, homeowners just want to downsize or move closer to family. But with the spike in interest rates we’ve seen recently - climbing up to over 7% - homeowners with interest rates as low as 3 and 4% (and lower!) feel trapped in their homes. If they make a move, they will lose their low interest rates and end up paying hundreds more in interest in their next home.

This can end up causing a rollercoaster of emotions for homeowners. They're not just dealing with money stuff; it's a mix of nostalgia, anxiety, and this big sense of responsibility as they try to figure out what to do. This emotional tangle dives deep into what their home really means to them, digging into the core of their lives and memories.

So what can one do?
