Those who locked in low rates during pandemic-era easing are now caught in a sudden surge of higher payments, forcing lenders to reach out with options like extended terms or payment holidays. With 1.8 million borrowers due to refinance this year, the financial strain could ripple through the economy, potentially hitting growth as hard as the pandemic if Middle East tensions persist.
