Rave: Refinancing my crib

Post by stlouie_lipp »

So, I bought my place in October and got a rate of 6.25%. Well, I already refinanced to 5.05%, lowered my monthly payment by $100, don't have to make a mortgage payment in February, and got $285 back at the closing.

That's great. I would like to refinance, but I have 5.375% from two or three years ago, and I don't think it would pay.

Same situation here. I've got a low 5's rate as well from five years ago.

Well done Lippster. Mrs. Jack and I are locked in at 5.25% on a 30-year jumbo, so I doubt we'll find anything better.
