Variable rates are still available and common. They tend to be slightly lower rates than fixed rate mortgages due to volatility risks.

I interpreted their remark to be more about the fixed rate though. The $20,000 house could have a 20% fix interest loan.

They did say "shooting up", so maybe they are presuming variable rate mortgages.
