Refi Your Mortgage
Dear Homeowner,
Mortgage rates are at historical lows and it behooves you to at least check what the latest rates are if you have not refinanced in the past six months. In the fall of 2011, I refinanced my jumbo 5/1 ARM at 3.625% down to 3.125% with no fees or cash outlay. I thought I was set for another 5 years until I checked again at the end of April, 2012 when the 10-year yield dropped to 1.85% from 2.1%. To my surprise, I discovered I could refinance again just 5 months later for only 2.625%!
If I had not checked the latest mortgage rates on Quicken Loans, I would have paid another $300 a month in interest for the next 60 months equaling $18,000 in unnecessary expenses. I always check Quicken Loans because they offer some of the lowest rates around given they are online based and don’t have costly overhead like. As a result, their savings is passed onto you. The rate quote is no obligation and free.
Mortgage rates have been going down for over 30 years as you can tell by the chart. Chances are, if you have not refinanced recently, you could very well be leaving money on the table. If you are considering buying a home with a mortgage, I’d check with Quicken Loans as well. The Federal Reserve has really hurt savers. But, for those who have mortgages, the Fed has helped us lower the cost of our debt. The key is to TAKE ACTION!
