Is this a good deal?

I am looking at a refinance as my bank is offering a good deal so they say. I still have $220k remaining with 2.86% interest with monthly payments of $871.81. They are offering a prime rate less than 1.06%, is this a good deal? by jadavis688 from Clayton, Indiana. Feb 22nd 2022 Reply
