We bought a house with a 2.5% mortgage rate a few years ago. Our family's much bigger now, but moving is not an option.

Our family has gotten bigger since we bought our home, but moving to a larger space isn't an option when we just can't afford to give up our rate. So, we're making the space work for us.

• We got a four-bedroom house for our family of five with a 2.5% rate on a 30-year mortgage in 2019.
• Now, we're a family of seven wanting a bigger house, but we can't afford to give up our rate.
• Since we can't move, we've focused on upgrading our space and making the most of it.
