If you are in the market to purchase a home, or if you are locked into a high interest rate on your present mortgage, NOW is the time to act! Luann Watkins at The First Bank in Picayune, MS, says that rates are the lowest she has ever seen them (and she’s been in the mortgage business for a LONG time!).
Currently, the interest rate on a Conventional Loan is hanging at 4.35% on a 30 year term, and 4.75% for a 15 year term. FHA and RD (Rural Development) is at 4.25% with 95% LTV (Loan-to-Value). If your current mortage is at 5.3% or higher, this might possibly be the best time to do a re-finance!
