Mortgage and Refinance applications go up as Rates decline

Shared by Samantha on Wed Apr 16, 2008 5:36 am

As interest rates on 30 year fixed rate mortgages dropped down to 5.74% from 5.78%, the mortgage application volume went up by 2.5% during the week ending April 11. Traditional 15 year FRMs, a popular option for refinancing also recorded a low rate as a result of which refinance applications also moved up in volume.

This is really good news Samantha. The 15 year FRM is now available at 5.31 percent. So this is again a good time to refinance and turn the ARMs to FRMs Smile
