Refinance Mortgage – Now could be a good time to refinance
Jan 29, 2012
The mortgage market is currently experiencing an increase in rates as 30 year mortgages rates push slightly over six percent, and 15 year mortgages move over the 5.50 level. Both of these loan rates assume that you would be putting 20% down at borrowing, which is customary amongst most commercial lenders. While most people are hesitant to move into the market at these rates, there exist other options you could possibly take advantage of. The federal government is attempting to ease the crisis in the mortgage market with the Federal Housing Administration. Passing new legislation, the government hopes to spur on new applications by allowing lenders to introduce mortgages with only a 3% down payment.
