Home Mortage Rates: 1% Lower - When to refinance?

My home mortgage rate is currently 6.375%.

The mortgage rates in my state is lower after the current one I have. [Michigan]

When do I know when to refinance? Should I consent to it drop some more, or shold I lock in the rate in a minute?


Answers: A 1% drop in rate can contribute substantial savings.

Example.
30 year fixed rate at 6.375% on 300K is $1871.91
30 year fixed rate at 5.375% on 300k is $1679.91
You gather $191.70
That's $2294.24 a year
And if we assume you already paid 2 years into your mortgage you would gather $64,238.72 over the life of the loan.

If it cost you $5000 to refi you would hit your break even point after 2 years and 2 months.

A 1% rate slimming down can be a great time to take good thing of a refi, it just depends on how long you are planning on staying within your house, (Hopefully more than 2 years 2 months in this case) and if $191/month - $2300/year is vital to your budget.

Is there any benefit to putting more than 20 percent down on a home?




Answers: Sure-
1- Lowers your monthly payment
2- reduces the overall money(interest) you will pay for the house
3- can help qualify for better loan rate

Now one negative would be if you are buying a house that needs repairs and you will use up all your money for the down.You do not want to be left without a nest egg/safety net fund.
If the house needs work put down as little as possible. If the house is complete put down as much as possible.
