To clarify, for customers who do not qualify for a particular size of mortgage loan.

To answer your question, mortgage lenders who know that lower introductory rates mean lower introductory payments. Therefore, homebuyers can qualify for a larger loan to fit the dream house that people are told not to let mortgage rates/bad credit/whatever keep them from.
