Factors affecting rates include loan program (conventional, FHA, VA, jumbo) and additional fees included in APR.
When refinancing, compare current and new rates, mortgage balance, and term to assess monthly savings and overall benefits.
Refinancing aims to lower interest rates, reduce payments, shorten loan term, access equity, or eliminate PMI.
Experts predict stable mortgage rates for the first half of 2025; potential rate changes in the second half based on inflation and unemployment trends.
