“If you can refinance your mortgage at a much lower rate, it’s something of a free lunch (assuming all the fees don’t end up costing you more than they’re saving you).
But rates on 30-year mortgages are rising.
According to the latest report from the Mortgage Bankers Association, refis have now fallen for 5 consecutive weeks.
From Reuters:
The decline in refinancing was driven by a 12.0 percent drop in government refinance activity, while conventional applications fell just 3.4 percent, the report said.
The refinance share of total mortgage activity slipped to its lowest level since July of last year at 71.9 percent of applications from 73.4 percent.
Fixed 30-year mortgage rates jumped to their highest level since November to average 4.23 percent, up 4 basis points from 4.19 percent.
If this continues, it’s not hard to imagine this playing into the Fed’s decision on whether to launch a further round of monetary easing with the idea of pushing down interest rates.”
