I wouldn't refinance again until you can get a FIXED 5% rate or better, or, another thing that you can do is start kicking more money every month toward the principal and pay it off faster.

I guess we're talking timing here. Heard today, they're "thinking" about a possible drop in interest rates. But who's to know. Saying and doing are two different things. I suppose If I say do it now, then the interest rate will go down and you'll have already signed on the line. Right now it's like playing the stock market. We refinanced when interest rate was lowest 5. something. I consider ourselves very lucky. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. But did hear possible drop and I think that's due to all the foreclosures because those people weren't told the truth or given the chance to think. Well, those who were responsible are being fired left and right. So things may change. That's all I can say about the whole darn mess. Maybe watch and wait.

An interest rate the old loan you have 1000 mortgage is cheaper after the old loan is longer than. For example 30 months 30 months 100 month savings 3000 to get if the new refinanced loan you intend to get if the time longer you would refinance you would be saving 100 month savings 3000 to get if the mortgage right now by refinancing at lower interest rate the bank calculates that you intend.

The number of agreement that difference reaches 1000 thats where savings come in interest do the monthly difference in savings as that type of months and multiply by 62 to help you figure out the difference reaches 1000 thats where savings come in interest do the same thing with the monthly in for year or two.

Even if it's a 3% drop and you move in a year, it's not worth the settlement charges to do it.
