Will the drop in mortgage rates continue?

The global mortgage industry has witnessed eight different record lows in 2020 alone. This is chiefly due to the biting implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, not just on the housing sector but also on the World’s economy.  When there are problems with the economy, rates typically will drop while it recovers.  However, talk to a local Lender to understand recent trends.

 

Is a 0.5% change in mortgage rate worth it?

The answer to this question depends on the loan amount and the breakeven point.  Many people try to achieve at least a 1% reduction in interest rate before refinancing but a 0.5% reduction on a $400,000 loan would result in savings of over $100 per month.  So, if the closing costs were less than $3000, the breakeven point would be 30 months.  If that individual was staying in the house for more than three or four years, it would probably make sense to refinance in that scenario.

 

What’s a favorable mortgage interest rate in 2020?

Rates have consistently been dropping throughout the year and have been below 3% on a 30 year fixed mortgage for the majority of the year.   For the remainder of the year, rates should stay below 3% but the election in November could have a large impact.  So, to see what the rate is today, please give us a call or complete the form to the right.
