Mortgage Rates (11/06/2010) and more….
You may be wondering – I just refinanced last year and my current rate is above 5%, does it make sense for me to refinance again? I know a lower rate will give me a lower payment, but I’m not sure if it’s worth refinancing my mortgage again? Let’s talk numbers so you can make an educated decision…
For example purposes, let’s say you have a $250,000 balance on your loan and your interest rate is 5.375%. Your current payment (principal and interest) is $1,400. You will pay a total of $254,000 in interest over the life of the loan. If you were to lock in today’s rates (Our current rates) the grid below gives you an idea of how much you will save on average compared to your current loan terms. These rates are for conforming loan amounts up to $417,000. If you have a high balance loan (Up to $729,750) gives us a call for a rate quote, these rates are pretty close to the conforming rates.
By the way our underwriting turn times are at 5 days compared to 3-4 weeks at big banks!
