Is This a Good Time to Refinance Your Home in New Jersey with a New FHA or Conventional Mortgage?
Obama says: YES!
Here are some questions that you need to ask yourself before refinancing your conventional or FHA mortgage here in New Jersey (NJ):
Do you have a high interest rate on your current mortgage?
Do you have a FHA mortgage or a conventional mortgage?
Do you have a locked in 30 year fixed mortgage rate?
Do you have an ARM?
Is the ARM about to adjust, or has it adjusted recently to more than you can afford?
Right now interest rates are really low.
Depending on the amount of the loan you are refinancing, you could get an interest rate somewhere around 5%. Do you want a fixed rate, or do you want an adjustable rate. Usually you can get a better interest rate if you want an adjustable rate.
Even President Obama says it’s a great time to refinance!
Check out the video from the Associated Press.
Another thing to consider is the cost involved in refinancing. When considering whether or not to refinance your mortgage, you want to realistically look at how long you plan on being in the home. Since there are closing costs that may amount to thousands of dollars, you have a look at how long it would take to break even if you were to refinance.
The best thing to do is to get a Total Cost Analysis from a Mortgage Professional. That way you can make a smart decision.
