Is Refinancing Worth It with Today’s Falling Rates? (+ How Much It’ll Cost)

  • Summary

  • When should you refinance your mortgage? Is now the time since interest rates have finally fallen? Or will refinancing down to today’s rates not be worth it when, six months from now, interest rates could be substantially lower? We brought on an expert mortgage loan officer to walk through the cost-benefit analysis of refinancing in 2024 and when a refinance is NOT worth the money. Greg Roller has closed over a billion dollars in loans, but surprisingly, he’s very cautious with homeowners about WHEN to refinance. Mortgage rates have already dropped significantly but could be trending down even more in 2024 and 2025. Is now the time to refinance? Greg discusses how much a refinance costs in 2024, how to know it’s worth it to refinance, what you’ll need to qualify, the differences between cash-out refinances and rate-and-term refinances, and why falling for a “low rate” could cost you in the long run. Plus, Greg shares some tips to help your refinance go as smoothly and quickly as possible, as well as how you can refinance for FREE with a rate option most people have zero clue about. In This Episode We Cover Refinancing explained and how much the average refinance costs in 2024 When to refinance and the rule of thumb that highlights whether or not it’s worth it The low-rate trap that inexperienced borrowers get caught in (you’ll get hit with hidden costs!) Refinancing multiple properties and how to do this the RIGHT way The easy method to see where mortgage rates are headed and whether they’ll rise or fall How to refinance for free by asking your loan officer for a “rate stack” And So Much More!
