Now is a great time. Although it is impossible to predict rates with exact accuracy, its pretty safe to say we have hit bottom and rates will not go back to 3.5% again. They are pretty volatile right now though so my suggestion for you would be to get the process started and float the rate. Work with a loan officer who follows rates and they can help you decide the best time to lock. I am a lender in San Diego and am licensed throughout California. I do my best to follow what is happening with rates and their current trends. If you would like to discuss your options, you can call me at 858-412-0712 or send me an email at adrielle@californiamortgagedirect.com.

If you haven't yet, now is the a great time to refi. No one can predict rates but they are off the all time lows and have jumped up a bit. That said they are steady with a slow tick to the downside but most in the industry believe they can only go up. The most important thing is to discuss your situation as soon as possible with a mortgage pro to see what options are available to you.

Waiting could yield you a better interest rate. Not likely as rates are predict to rise even more than they have. Its a funny question and get it all the time. Sometimes waiting for that .125 or .250 isn't much of a difference payment wise or other the life of the loan. You would wait 6 months and you are losing money in the process depending on the benefit from the refinance. If it is a cash-out refinance and you are going to invest the money you could be losing even more money from waiting. The best time like William said was 3 months ago. Rate wise. You should move forward and get it done before rates go up higher. Once its over with you can begin planning everything else in your budget/investment opportunities. If you have any questions or want to learn how to develop a long term mortgage plan let me know. I am licensed in California.

If you currently reside in Big Sur, an area of great natural beauty, I would say if refinancing saves you enoughmonthly to help you provide your minimum financial needs to live a good quality of life...go for it! Otherwise,no one knows how much of a dip, if any in rates, we possibly could expect before rates stay on a forever higher tierfrom previous levels, or current levels of rates.
