Halifax Homebuyers Guide – Arranging a Mortgage; How long will mortgage interest rates continue to drop?

At Halifax, we’re always on hand to help guide you through the ins and outs, the dos and don’ts of mortgages so you can stay totally in control. This video will help you work out what kind of mortgage you need: The right one could save you thousands. With a repayment mortgage, the monthly payment you make gradually pays off the amount you borrowed, as well as the interest on the loan. Whereas, with an interest-only mortgage, the monthly payments only cover the interest on the loan. This means you don’t pay back any of the money borrowed until you reach the end of your mortgage term, when you’ll have to pay back the full lump sum. You’ll need a plan in place to repay this amount. To give yourself the best chance of getting a mortgage, you’ll need a good credit rating — proving you can manage debt and that your bills are always paid on time. YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE. To find out more about arranging your mortgage, download our new Halifax Home Finder app today: www.halifax.co.uk

Question by anuitutu: What is the most current interest rate to refinance my house in California?
I have a mortgage rate of 6.85%. should I refinance now or will interest rates go down more after the president signs the new bill to help mortgage companies?

Best answer:

Answer by Brian A
To give you a definitive answer would require more information about what type of loan you have now (fixed or adjustable), how much your home is worth, how much you still owe, etc. Suffice it to say, if that 6.85% is for a fixed, 30 year, it will probably not be worth refinancing now or in the near future.
