I don't think so as these loans reset if it is to a higher rate all other rates will have gone up also. Fixed other ARMS etc.

This raises an important question.Can these people simply refi before resets into another low rate?

absolutely, and that has been happening. I believe that is the reason why fixed/ARMs ratios are swinging toward fixed again.

However, they will be looking at these rates now vs before.
