What moves refinance mortgage rates? NASDAQ
When the European economy was threatened by instability in Greece and other countries, investors worldwide turned to American bonds as safe investments; that helped lower U.S. interest rates.
Mark Greenberg of Wealth & Tax Planners in Walnut Creek, Calif., says, "Long term rates are set by the 'market' (traders, banks, etc., i.e. the participants' collective wisdom about where rates should be). Mortgage rates, he explains, tend to follow the rates on 1, 5 and 10-year Treasury notes.
"As demand pushes bond prices up, they cost more, so they yield less (investors pay more for the same dividend amount). The converse is also true."
The Fed
Reading the financial news, it's easy to think that if your mortgage rate went up, it's because the Fed "raised" interest rates. That's simply not the way it works.
Savings institutions are required to maintain a certain level of deposits, called reserves, with the Federal Reserve Bank, to make sure that there is money to pay depositors when they want it. The Fed supervises overnight loans of these reserves from one bank to another to cover fluctuating needs for cash.

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:

I locked a mortgage refinance rate; should I walk if I find lower?
Might the lender be willing to lower his rate quote? or must I find a new lender if I think I can find a lower rate?
If you're going with a bank certainly see if they can lower it. If you're with a broker get a few quotes from some different brokers and see who comes out best. Get references from friends or family for someone they use.
Brokers can swap lenders if rates go lower, or renegotiate w/lenders, so you'll have better luck than with a bank.
quietly, covertly, find also a mortgage broker.
the bank only uses THEIR cash, the broker has lots of
lenders available
what is the best rate someone can have for a refinance mortgage?
having 668 on credit score and being first time home buying. Today, what docs do we need to present to refinace? Thanks, I appeciate your help.
Hi Claudia; if you are siously considering this, and would like to speak to a live mortagge propfessional, you can email me at dantaft@bellsouth.net- you may be able to get a rate in the high 5s to low 6s, but I would really need more information to give you an accurate idea of what you would qualify for. Your question is a bit confusing as well, as you ask about refinancing and home purchase at the same time. Email me for more info and we can clear everything up and go from there.
rate depends on the loan to value....and if you're looking for a 30yr fixed....what's the loan amount..
you need to present paystubs, w-2's, asset statements, etc
your rate shouldnt be higher than 6.375 for a 30yr fixed...with a loan amount over 150k......80% LTV...
Basically, if you just bought your house within the last 12 months, and you bought it very close or at the valued price, it may not be a good idea to refi at this time....but if you have a lot of equity built up then go for it.
The fact that this is your first home is not a consideration in refinancing the home.
Documents you will need are 2 mos paystubs, account statements for assets like savings or retirement accts, insurance info.....the processor on the loan would acquire the other items like verification of employment etc.
Rates are in the mid to upper 6's depending on if you pay your closing costs or do a no closing cost option. The amount of equity plays a part in your loan qualifying.
You can find alot more help/info here....

Another consideration is how much equity and the loan to value you plan on borrowing. The more equity you pull out of your home the more risk for the lender.
Need to Refinance an adjustable rate mortgage with so-so credit?
Hi,
My husband and I bought our home 2 years ago on with an adjustable rate mortgage. The interest rate has now come up and we need to refinance.
The problem is that our credit score is about 600.
Can we get a refinance? Our home is worth about $240K, we have $25K in debt, and we make about $140K per year.
Thanks Bob,
But we really can't afford the extra costs. Our payment went from $1100 per month to $1680 per month.
What would the rate be for a credit score of 600?
Depends on how much you owe.
FHA refinances go up to 95%, with rates lower than 7%
You will still need to qualify with the county limits.
You can still try conventional....and have the lender pay PMI...
I used "Credit Solutions" to settle my debt.They managed to reduce my debt up to 58%.It's legitimate.I came accross this company on NBC News Special Edition.Check it out here:

my credit score is 645 and my wife. is 697.what is the best rate. that I qualify for a refinance mortgage loan?
I seem to be having a problem qualifing for a good rate loan.Do you have any advice for me?
Mortgage loan is a term used for the loans secured by a property. Mortgage loans refer to a loan secured by residential property, often for the purpose of securing real estate. Mortgage loans are priced lower than other loan structures because the value of the property risk for the lender.
http://www.worldbestloans.com/Mortgage%20Loan.htm
A fixed rate mortgage loan has its own benefit. If the borrower is budget conscious, he will remain at peace because the monthly mortgage amount will not change.Fixed rate mortgage loan is a loan where the interest rate remains the same through the term of the loan. Fixed rate mortgage loans are the most traditional form of loan.
It's not just your credit score that is important. It is also the debt ratio (how much you owe vs. your balance) and other criteria.
Read up on how the credit score is determined here: http://www.gmigllc.com/credit/3314.php
But Mortgage companies look at the whole picture and disect your credit report, no matter what the score is. Make sure you have a clean file.
Where can I find the lowest interest rate for a mortgage refinance?
Where can I find the lowest interest rate for a mortgage refinance in Arizona? I would like to be able to look for it online.
Hi There,
Try typing in 'home loan interest rates' or 'arizona mortgage' in your Google search engine and see which mortgage companies come up in the search. Then see what each company has to offer. If its unclear which links to follow, check out the search links that show up in the right hand column. If you have good credit, for the lowest rates, look for websites offering 'wholesale rates'.
Keep in mind that interest rates are tough to compare between mortgage companies because they hinge on so many factors including your credit, term, and the type of loan you're interested in. Instead, focus on how much the mortgage company can lower your payment. Or, pay close attention to how long the company has been in the industry, client satisfaction rate, reliability, and trust. You can typically get a good idea of how a mortgage company is received by the public through client testimonials.
If you have any questions, you can contact me directly. I hope this helps!
Where can I find the best mortgage rate for refinancing?
I am not sure whether to refinance with debt consolidation, cash out or a home equity loan or line of credit.
Hi there,
I hope yo havent conta ted the gentleman that seems to live overseas, and doesnt really have the concept of the english language down pact yet... Probably not your best bet...
Looks like you basically are in need of $cash$ to obviously pay down some debts... (based on your question)
So to keep it short and simple, out of the three options that you have sited, two of them are the same thing... A cash out refinance is the same as a debt consolidation refinance... A home ewuity line of credit on the other hand is a completely different story...
A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is a quick and easy way to get money out of a property... However, they are one of the worst debts for any person to carry...
Large banks will push these programs on customers for one simple reason.. They make double the interet!!!
A HELOC is basically a giant credit card secured against your home.. It shows on your credit as a "Revolving debt" rather then a "real estate debt" like a mortgage...
A "revolving debt" is the smae as a credit card, or charge card at a retail store... They are bad for your credit if you carry high balances... The average HELOC is over $20k, so your credit is sure to decrease by using a HELOC...
This is also why you always see commercials and billboards promoting HELOC's.. They say low to no costs, etc. There is a reason they want to give you these loans for free... They make double the intere3st because a HELOC IS COMPOUNDED INTEREST (same as a credit card)... (not like simple interest on a mortgage or car loan)
So, if you need cash to pay debts, home improvemets, etc. i always suggest to refinance the mortgage and take out what you need...
I would be happy to assist you with any further questions, or even help you with the loan process if need be.. .I work with providential Bancorp, we are a nationwide mortgage lender...
Feel free to call or email me at any time!!

i don't know why you need to refinance?
if your total monthly payments is killing you now- is good to consolidate your debts, if you need extra cash- you can go with cash out or equity line of credit. if you do cash out you will have fixed payment, with equity line of credit you only pay for the money you spend- let's say your equity line is for $30000, but you only used $10000- you only pay for $10000, but rate is higher and change monthly and like i say before i don't know what is the reason for you to refinance.
or use a mortgage broker.
will get you customized quotes from top local lenders in your area based on some basic info about your property and current loan.
Is it wise to refinance my home mortgage rate of 6 percent to current 4.8 percent rate?
What are the pros and cons?
4.8% is a phenomenal rate.
Here is what you want to do.
Decide how long you plan on staying in the home.
Take the total cost of the refinance and dived that by how much you will save to find your break even point.
Here is an example.
Refi cost = $4,000.00
Monthly savings with new rate of 4.8% = $128.78 ( I used a $200,000 loan amount @ 6% and then a new loan amount of $204,000 @ 4.8% to get this number )
$4,000 divided by $128.78 = 31.06 months divided by 12 = 2.5 years.
As long as you plan on staying for more than 2.5 years it looks like it makes sense.

I am looking for the best mortgage company for a refinance. Two criteria, low interest rate and low fees.?
Does anyone have any suggestion? Where to look, what to stay away from or tricks of the trade. Made a poor decision on our present mortgage and don't want to do a repeat. Am locked in on present note for 45 more days and then we want OUT. Looking for 15, 20, or possibly 30 year fixed. Am not interested in doing business with Coutrywide. Thanks for your help.
There is no best mortgage company to refinance your home with.
You should find a local mortgage broker by looking in the telephone book. They will offer you the best rates possible based on your credit report and your credit score.
You may be interested in the best rate or a no fee mortgage. You have to decide which is best for you based on your financial situation presently.
You can not address the past and what happen. You have to educate yourself and ask as many questions about your loan as you can think of.
You must ask the mortgage broker to explain each and every mortgage program you are qualified for. This includes the monthly payments, interest rate, any possible prepayment penalties and most important what this loan will cost you.
No one want to trick or cheat you, you have to then take this knowledge and make an intelligent decision that benefit you financially.
I take it you have an adjustable rate mortgage that was not properly explained to you.
Your fees and points should be explained to you on a Good Faith Estimate (GFE). Once you have allowed a mortgage broker to take a mortgage application and run a credit report they should be able to issue you a GFE. Don't get to excited about the first one, it might be a little off and the mortgage broker has a 3 day requirement to do this, so he might be just fulfilling the requirement.
Once you have your GFE now is the time to discuss what mortgage programs you are qualified for as well as discuss the points and fees you will be required to pay.
Keep a pleasant disposition, be open about what you want, make sure the mortgage broker understand your situation. Working with the mortgage broker will be a rewarding experience if you are both on the same page and know what each of you are looking for.
If there is something you don't understand, ask and get a full explanation before you move on to another subject.
Sometimes low points and fees and low interest rates are not spoken in the same sentence. You have to come to an agreement about this.
Make sure you understand the tax benefits of paying points and fees up front as oppose to a no fee no points mortgage.
Just remember no one work for free, not even you, so be prepared to pay for your loan. You have to decide if you want to pay up front or during the mortgage monthly payments.
A no fee no points loan normally mean the broke will increase the interest rate to compensate for the mortgage expense. Make sure you understand this.
Now about the mortgage business itself. The person you are getting your mortgage from will sell your mortgage the next day without fail, this is the nature of the business.
They sell this mortgage to the one that is looking for what is available for sale that day. One of the largest purchases of mortgage loans is Countrywide, so to say you do not want to do business with Countrywide might not be a choice you make.
Even if your mortgage is sold to Countrywide you might not know it as they might have someone called a service company that might service the mortgage for them, so you might not even know that countrywide has purchased your mortgage.
When signing the loan docs make sure these docs say the something you decided on a far as the interest rate, number of years the mortgage is for as well as other things you discussed about the mortgage you decided was best for you financially with the mortgage broker.
If the loan docs are not the same please don't sign them. You are the one that will pay the monthly mortgage so make sure they say exactly what you discussed when you decided on the program
It is too late to blame someone else after the loan docs are signed, so this is your time to make sure that you agree with the loan docs.
I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.
