So I have a 3br 1 bath brick house on slab. Around 1100-1200 sq ft. and 1 acre (i have since bought 3.5 acres that adjoins me). I bought the house in 2002 for around $54,000. I have paid 10 years on a 30 year loan as of this August. My first time homebuyer interest rate is 6.9%. In the last 3-4 years, I have spent approx 30 grand on the house which includes asphalt driveway. The rest was spent directly on/in the house.From that lil bit of info, is it a good time to refinance? I know NOTHING about this stuff and want to make sure I am going in the right direction. by henryf_784_124 from South Portland, Maine. Apr 26th 2012
Yes. I would refinance now. Current rates on a 20 yr fixed have been @ 3.875% - 4.125% over the last month. I would also look at a 15 yr fixed. I lend nationwide.

This would be a perfect time to refinance... rates are very low... much lower than your 6.9%... The best advice I can give you is to contact a LOCAL mortgage broker, not the local "Big" bank, and certainly not one of those 50 states internet lenders...By applying with your LOCAL Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with numerous lenders, seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario. Because he has lower overhead, he can offer you lower rates and lower fees than most of the larger lenders.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com
Yes, if fact there has never been a better time. Work with a local Mortgage Banker/Broker and have hem work out for you the different options: Pay the costs by adding into loan balance or by adding to rate. You will probably find that adding them to the loan costs you much less in the long run. They will also calculate the difference in payments for different terms. You may find that if you are willing to keep you payments where they currently are, the difference in terms could cut your remaining term in half. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ www.LoansA2z.com
