If you're using 1.75% against the current benchmark of 1.88% Fixed 3 years.
If SIBOR hit with 1.5%, easily you pay much more already.
In additon to those who procrastinate earlier when rates were still low at 3 years fixed 1.25,1.45,1.55 offered by banks, you've already saved much more and more than enough to cover your 'admin fees'
3 years fixed 1.25,1.45,1.55 compared to market rate of about 2% by end of this year, and a conservative 2.5% for the next 2 years, you'll save more than 10k for a loan more than 500k with 20 years to go at least for the next 3 years.
It does not mean that holding on a low spread despite SIBOR being high won't affect you much.
If the only way is up now, It affects deeply, and true enough, for the next 2 years will definitely be up.
