Mortgage Rates Dip, Send Refi Signal Fox Business
Mortgage rates plummeted again this week, amid turmoil in the financial markets worldwide as investors panic and seek safety in U.S. Treasuries and mortgage bonds.
The benchmark 30-year fixed-rate mortgage fell 8 basis points this week, to 4.46%, according to the Bankrate.com national survey of large lenders. A basis point is one-hundredth of 1 percentage point. The mortgages in this week's survey had an average total of 0.36 discount and origination points. One year ago, the mortgage index was 4.57%; four weeks ago, it was 4.69%.
The benchmark 15-year fixed-rate mortgage fell 7 basis points, to 3.61%. The benchmark 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgage rose 1 basis point, to 3.24%, and the benchmark 30-year, fixed-rate jumbo fell 4 basis points, to 5.02%.
This is the lowest rate on the 30-year fixed in more than nine months. In nearly 26 years of Bankrate's survey, the record low for the 30-year fixed was 4.42%. It hit that record Oct. 20, 2010, and again Nov. 3, 2010. This is the rate's lowest level since that rate-setting day last November.

Which bank offers the lowest interest rate for mortgage refinance in California?
I need to refinance my second/investment home in Milpitas California and I'm looking for a mortgage broker or a bank that offers lowest interest rate based on 700 or more fico score. Preferably a loan program with minimum monthly payment is preferred.
find the best rate you can find and then add 1% (1 point is what is the standard to add when dealing with an investment home)
A mortgage broker is supposed to find you the best rate from all the companies she works with. If you don't have a good one shop around.
Here is a website to find the average and best rates:

will a bank lower your interest rate or refinance your mortgage if you tell them that you can no longer pay?
or you might file for foreclosure?
They may allow you to short sale the property. You need to prove that you can't make the payments in order to do this.
You can always apply to refinance.
And no, they can't just up and break the contract and lower your interest rate. You have to refinance in order to so that, signing new documents.
If you have been making your payments on time and your payments just went up because you had a variable interest rate then they should work with you if the payments will be the same or lower. But if you have been having problems in the past making the payments and are behind now, tyou should have went to them sooner and asked to help. Good luck
Can we refinance a car loan with another bank to get a better rate and save money?
We have a car loan for $10,000 and a rate of 7.5%. We were looking for a better rate (to save some cash). Would it be possible for us to find a loan with another bank for a lower rate and pay our current bank off, in order to save money?
Yes, that is called refinancing your auto loan and depending on your financial situation you could save a good amount of money. Check out link brokers like rategenius.com and umbrellaauto.com to get your application shopped around to various lenders. But also go see your local credit unions. They have the best rates, you just have to be able to join.
Doing those things should save you some time and hits on your credit. Refinancing can also allow you to skip a payment or two depending on the lender. It takes time between paperwork and payoff of your last loan. This could really come in handy during the holidays!
But be sure to check out any deal that you are given and be 100% comfortable with it. You shouldn't have to pay an application fee, only title transfer fees if you go ahead with the refinance, and those are assessed by your state, not the company that refinances you.
If you have any more questions about this process, please feel free to ask.
Try throwing 1,000 into the loan, that way you'll pay less interest for the life of the loan.
Why would a bank want to refinance my mortgage?
A few years ago, I had a mortgage with Bank A. The rates went way down so I refinanced with Bank B at a lower rate AND a shorter term (went from 30 year to 15 year.) Why would Bank B want to offer me something like that? What is in it for them? Please advise. Thank you!
It's all about the money. They are in the job of making money. I think I can explain it like this. They will be able to make lots of money off this new loan.
Let's just say that you borrowed $100,000.00 that would be 180 payments for 15 years. Now let's say that your new mortgage rate is 5% and now your new payments are $790.79.
On a $100,000 loan for 15 years the total Interest would be $42,342.20 Not a bad increase. You will have paid $142,342.20 for a $100,000.00 loan.
That's why they do it, in order to make a profit. Plus you had to pay refinance fees, closing fees and those should be factored into the final cost.
I've given you a webpage so you can calculate your own mortgage payments, even your old ones. Have fun with it.
Simple as that.
Keep in mind that lower interest rates do not mean lower profits for lenders. Whether the interest rate is 3% or 8% or 20%, they pretty much get to skim off the same dollar amount in profits.
They could sell your mortgage to an investor at a fixed rate which is lower than your mortgage interest rate.
It's a numbers game and simple mathematics.
These answers are are clueless.
They don't explain why a another bank would finance your home and give you a lower interest rate.
98% of all mortgages are sold.
Which makes about 98% of the answers given here wrong.
shop around,.

Can I refinance a second mortgage with another bank to get a lower rate?
You can always shop around as much as you want; you are a consumer and you have the right to do business with whomever you want! Credit Unions and commercial banks are always looking for good people to lend money to. There are web-based companies that shop for you then get a commission if you do business with the firms they recommend. You have many options! Keep in mind that credit is very tight right now and without strong credit scores you'll be offered higher rates on loans and in some cases, with low scores, no offers at all.

Can I refinance my car with another bank?
My fiancee and I got a new car a couple weeks ago. With her credit, I believe she should have gotten a better interest rate. Can we refinance the car with another bank and get a lower rate? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
The sooner you refinance the better. That way the interest you are paying is on the new loan not the old one. Go to a local credit union if you're a member and then a broker. I work for one. They can take your application and send it to the major lenders. It's like Lending Tree but for cars.
Let me know if you have any more specific questions.
Sorry, you are SOL.
Can I refinance my student loans with my bank since interest rates are low?
I have ~12,700@~7% and 12,500@5% in student loans. Can I refinance with my bank? Should I?
Student loans are covered under a government program in that they are guaranteed from the banks perspective. If the bank will refinance a "student loan" you will pay almost the same rate you are now. If you go to a bank to refinance it outside of a student loan program (which would be awesome because if you default, which I don't endorse, you are not followed by the debt if you file bankruptcy if it were a student loan) you have to think about it from a bankers perspective...for them it is basically a $25,200 unsecured loan. Most unsecured loans carry really high rates like 10 to 20 percent. Just something to think about....
I used "Credit Solution" to settle my loans.They managed to reduce my loans up to 58% .It's legitimate.I came across this company on NBC News Special Edition.Check it out here:

What is the interest rate for a 30 year mortgage to refinance a house w/ a reputable bank?
the problem with this question is one a person has to licensed to quote rates in most states and the rate is a fluid thing changing which use to be daily but with the markets being in this crazy state. we can see the rate on the thirty year moving up and down three to four times a day .also depending on where you live in the usa the rate may be different then a nearby state. so what i suggest is looking at the local sunday paper in the real estate business section and they will give that weeks rates. hope this helps.or just call your local bank but remember they are giving a retail rate whereas a mortgage broker gets a wholesale rate which is lower.
What is the best bank to finance a vehicle. My current apr is 7.4%. Could I get a better rate by refinancing
What is the best bank to finance a vehicle. My current apr is 7.4%. Could I get a better rate by refinancing? Does the interest rate cuts the Fed Reserve have implemented apply to refinancing an auto loan. If so please let me know. I jumped the gun with the 7.4 % apr and I'm sure I could of done better but now I have to find a better % rate out there. Any suggestions or answers?
You would be financing a used vehicle, which costs a higher interest rate than a new vehicle.
Is it possible to refinance a car loan with one's current auto loan bank or institution?
I currently have an auto loan with Bank of America. I am paying 9.7% APR. I'm considering refinancing just to get my interest rate lower.
In fall 05, I started it w/ a loan balance of ~$27K. In 1.5yrs, I've paid down the loan to a little under $15K. Currently the car has a trade-in value of ~$19,500 and a retail resale value of ~$23K(I looked this up on Kelly Blue Book's website). So I know that I'm not upside-down on my loan.
Do I have a good chance of refinancing? My credit is solid, but the only thing that I'm afraid might hinder me is the credit card balances that I currently have(although I've been paying them on time).
More importantly--Is there a chance Bank of America might be able to refinance my car loan for a lower rate? If they do this, is it possible for the loan acct.# to stay the same?(since it's within the same bank) Do banks sometimes refinance car loans that they already manage? And if I tried to refi with Bank of America, would it create a hard inquiry?
I asked about it at my credit union and I'd say it's a no-no. The credit union said they only determine int. rates based on what tier my credit score falls in, so my good loan-to-value ratio, length of loan, etc won't help me. They also said that I'd only qualify for a "used car" loan, and the rates are higher for those. But I will definitely try Bank of America...except I called 2X today and got disconnected each time after waiting a while. >:( Anyone have any specific car loan experience dealing with Bank of America?
Yes it is possible. Since you have paid the loan down so much your loan to value has changed greatly. This is one of the main things that lenders base rate on.
You should have no problem refinancing with your own bank, if you do? Try a credit union, they will always beat a bank on rate anyway.
And yes it will be a hard inquire.
