Is Now A Good Time To Refinance?

By
Mortgage and Lending with Blue Line Mortgage

The short answer - YES.   If you have good credit and at least 20% equity in your home, and want to refinance, don't wait another day.  Call your mortgage professional and lock in your rate!

This is an excellent time to do it. Yes, rates could drop further. You could hold out for even lower rates but if you do wait, understand that you're taking a gamble that may or may not pay off.  It is possible that home values may continue to decline in the area that you live in.  You will be taking an uncalculated risk that your property may be worth less & find you're unable to refinance due to declining property value.  Lenders do not want to loan money on property that's declining in value.

I agree Tami, in fact I am in the process.  However I plan to wait to lock my rate until after the 30th...I have a sneaking suspicion that it will dip a little more!!  After that, I'm IN!!  I do not think it will go down much further...I do not think they will make the same mistake that got us into this predicament in the first place!!  (way lower rates, causing lending problems).  I will save about $120/month!!  I'm so excited!!  For all you fence sitters...it's getting crowded up here...lets jump off and make some room!!

I am in the process of refinancing several of my rental properties.  Rates can't get much lower than this.

You're right, its a great time to refi, and also a great time to protect any equity you have left in your home especially if you are taking money out to do home improvements.  It wasn't an option before, but now it is without any money out of pocket.  Let me know if you have any questions about EquityLock Financial's Home Price Protection (TM) program.
