Even though rates are higher today than they were a month ago, we are still helping people save money.  The Fannie Mae program "refi-plus" has been expanded and is mhelping people who, otherwise, would not be able to refinance.  It is an exciting program and appears to be doing exactly what it is supposed to do.  Your mortgage must be currently owned by Fannie Mae to qualify.  Go to Fanniemae.com to see if your home loan is a fannie mae loan.  Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

We are a little depressed today because of rising interest rates. However we are still helping people save money and helping them to buy a new home. Many reports are indicating that things are beginning to improve in the housing sector.  Inventories of homes for sale are decreasing.  Take advantage of great buying opportunities while they still exist. 

For every .125% reduction in your interest rate per $100,000 borrowed you will save approximately $7 per month.  So, if you have a mortgage of $200,000 at 6.375%, we can save you 7 x 9 ( there are  nine .125s in 1.125%) x 2 (for 200,000) equals a monthly savings of approximately $126.  Divide this into the closing costs typical for where you live.  In Memphis, TN, the typical closing costs on a loan this size would be around $2,200.  When we divide 2,200 by 126 that equals 17.46. In this example it would take seventeen and a half months to "break even" on refinancing.  If this person knew they were going to be living in this home for a number of years, it would make sense to refinance because every month beyond the 17 and a half years, they would be saving real dollars.

NO ONE knows what will happen with interest rates.  Let us run some numbers for you to see how much you could be saving.  Give us a call, 901-260-1478. 

Please e-mail me with any questions you may have on your mortgage.

Thanks!
