Anybody believe they are going to go lower?

Not sure if I should wait or refinance my house to a 2.25% 30yr fixed...

Unless banks start paying us to take mortgages out, then this is about as low as they’ll get.

Refinances and purchases have been so active banks have increased risk management measures. Get it while you can.

I’m wondering same thing. Took out a mortgage in March at 3.5% on a 30 year.

Wondering if it’s worth for me to start looking to refinance already

What are 30 year mortgages running? I locked at 2.625 but it expired on the 28th of September so I extended it.

You actually think a 30yr will get lower

Feel I've screwed up on the refinancing part. Refinanced 2 years ago, went from 5-4%. Refinancing now, going down to 3% from 4. A/C went out so doing a cash out to pay for it. Would have been 2.7% but cash out made it go up to 3. Feel like after all the fees for last 2 refinancing it was a bad idea. I'll be in my house for at least another 10 years though.

Rate depends on the loan amount and credit score. I can email you if you want to see today's rates

I'm about to close on mine at 2.75% for 30 year. Didn't want to wait too long in case the election results and/or covid shutdown related foreclosures caused housing values to go down. I only bought the house a year ago and wanted to avoid coming out of pocket for the refi so had to make sure appraisal value didn't dip.

i hate when people think like this. Historical all time low rates and they want to hold out for fairy land. No offense ment when i say this, i am just trying to let you see this from a different view. Banks are giving away money right now. Unitl this march the lowest 30yr rate was 3.3-3.55. Purchase money is 2.5-2.625% right now. thas a full point under all time lows. I expect the rates to start to rise 3-4 months after a vaccine is produced. so you can wait and miss these rates or get off the fence and grab a great interest rate.

As I tell all my customers - pigs eat at the trough, hogs get slaughtered. Lock and close on that rate. You’re over thinking it big time.

Also, so what if they drop another 25 bps, unless your loan amount is $5 million or something, that small rate decrease isn’t really going to move the needle very much

completely agree, anything lower is just bragging rights, makes little, to no difference for the vast majority of homeowners
