Refinance now or later ?

In: Mortgage Refinance

5 Jun 2010

I bought my house last November and the mortgage was a 5-year ARM at 5.875% (conforming).
Now my loan agent told me she can get me a no closing cost, no point, same 5-year ARM loan at 5%.
The catch is, I will not be able to pay off in 6 months. In other words, I will have to at least stick with this loan for 6 months before I can refinance again.
Reports say the Fed is cutting rate soon.
Shall I refinance now or wait until the Fed’s decision ?
By the way, I have no problem making my monthly payment.

Thanks.

You have time to wait to see what the rates will do. I would wait till I can get a fixed rateDepending on the loan amount in most cases you need at least a 1% drop in rates and the because of closing cost it takes about 2 to 3 yrs to recoop the fees from the lower house payment.

No closing costs? Seems to good to be true, you must read the fine print. But if you can get this deal, get it while its hot. A rate change in your mortgage of .875% is a great deal of savings. Six months from now rates are not going to climb if anything stay steady. The reports you see also say that the economy will take awhile to recover. When Fed’s cut rate’s in late March that will take a while to trickle down to us consumers. In the end if the pros can’t can’t even tell what the Feds are talking about, we can only take our savings now and run.

It’s extremely important to understand that with a little time and the right approach getting the absolute best mortgage refinancing is not a huge problem.Companies/businesses that arrange financial products of this nature
