It is impossible to say for certain where mortgage refinance rates are headed. In the past two years, interest rates have been at all-time lows. This has led more and more people to take out first time mortgages and to refinance their existing mortgages. It has been great time for homebuyers to get the loans they need at lower interests rates--which means lower monthly payments.
However, the good times could not last forever. Since the all-time lows, interest rates have steadily begun to increase. They are still lower than they have been in the past decade. They are certainly lower than previous periods, such as the 1980s! However, interest rates are increasing and most likely will continue to increase. Because of this upward trend, now is probably the best time to take advantage of a mortgage refinance.
By refinancing now, you can lower your monthly mortgage. In addition, you may have equity in your home that you could take as cash to use for other important items. This could include home repairs or paying off higher interest debt. Whatever the motivation, now is an excellent time to act.
