A quarter of a point on your mortgage rate is not a life changer. Sounds terrific at 5.25%. Historically, this is very good.
I presume, btw, this is a conventional mortgage you are talking about?

Were I you, I should stay away from floating rates on any long-term loan. About a year/18 months from now, inflation is going to kick in -- bigtime! -- and holding floating-rate debt will be quite painful. Remember 1978-81?
Fixed-rate on a mortgage is the way to go, if one intends to own the house for more than a year or two.
