FOMC drops the Fed Funds Rate by 0.50

This morning the Fed lowered the Fed Funds rate by 0.50 to 1-1.25% due to the global financial impacts of the coronavirus. The markets were anticipating the Feds to make a move and reacted favorably…however we’re still seeing plenty of volatility.

What does this mean with regards to mortgage interest rates? They are still very very LOW making this a great time to look at refinancing.

You may be a good candidate for a refinance if ANY of the below list applies to you have:

• A mortgage with interest rate higher than 4.375%.
• private mortgage insurance.
• an FHA mortgage.
• an ARM (adjustable rate mortgage).
• a second mortgage/HELOC
• revolving debt with interest rates above 3.5% (or that will reset with higher interest rates).

Or perhaps you want to take equity out to improve your home (or for any reason). Many homes have greatly appreciated!
