When is a good time to refinance ? I have a 7/1 variable rate that has already been up since last October, but it stayed at 5.25%.. It is at 5.25%,

Now that the rates are lower should I lock into something lower ? Would it be worth the cost to refinance ? or Should I keep it for now since it will probably stay at 5.25%? by spovov74_917_131 from Fargo, North Dakota. Aug 23rd 2011 Reply

Although I'm not in your area, Yes, definately Refi, my 7/1 Arm today is at 3.125%, unless you owe less than $50,000 and/or moving next year, it's definately worth the savings.

hello. our 10/1 arm is at 4.0% and now would be an excellent time to lock in and save for the next 10 years.

Have your lender run a cost benefit analysis which will provide you with the numbers and your overall benefit. Though in general it sounds like it would be beneficial.
