Mortgage rates are at historic lows across the nation making it a perfect time to refinance. Homeowners refinance their current mortgage loans for various reasons. One of the most common reasons is to lower their current mortgage rate into a lower rate and reduce their monthly mortgage payments. Another reason is to change the length and terms of their existing loans. For instance, homeowners can change from a 30 year fixed rate mortgage to a 15 year fixed rate mortgage to shorten the length of the mortgage and payoff their mortgage faster. Also many borrowers refinance from an adjustable rate mortgage to a fixed rate mortgage to enjoy a stable mortgage rate for the life of the loan.
Currently, Total Mortgage is offering mortgage rates at some of the lowest rates nationwide. A 30 year fixed rate mortgage is available to borrowers at 3.750 percent and 3.941 percent APR. A 15 year fixed rate mortgage is available at 3.250 percent and 3.602 percent APR.
A homeowner with a mortgage of $300,000 with a 30 year fixed rate mortgage paying 5.500% may be able to save a significant amount by refinancing with current low rates. A borrower with 5.500% rate and a $300,000 mortgage loan may have a monthly payment of around $1703. For the same loan amount with Total Mortgageās low rate of 3.750%, the monthly payment could be around $1350 saving borrowers about $28,791 over the life of the loan.
