ORIGINAL: Chickenboy Closing on a mortgage refinance today. Woot me. 3.75% fixed 15 year rates are hard to pass up. For those of you in the US that are homeowners, you may want to look at your existing mortgage and consider it. This loan will be about 20% more every month than our previous 30 year fixed @ 4.75%, but we'll have full equity in the house in 15 years and we'll pay approximately 1/3 the interest that we would have otherwise paid over the life of the loan. Alright, thus endeth my spiel... Good move! Ours is a variable that keeps going down. LOL We just got notice that it is dropping to 3% for the next year. It can only increase by 1% each year, so at the first sign of increasing, we will refinance. Please explain this in detail to us non-USA types so that we can understand what are you talking about... Leo, we're talking about our home loans. Chickenboy just refinanced (got a new loan to replace his old one) for a lower interest rate, which will be a fixed 3.75% interest per year for a 15 year loan. I mentioned that our current home loan has a variable interest rate, which can go up or down 1 time per year, with a maximum rate change of 1% each year. Rates are quite low these days, and our loan interest rate has gone down for the last 3 years in a row. It will be 3% for the next year. If rates start to go higher next year, we will then refinance our loan for a fixed (unchanging) interest rate. Thanks for info Mike! So... you guy only pay 3.75 interest every year... oh my God... here it is 2-3 times more (around 8% - 10%)... and, BTW< refinancing is not possible in 99.99% of cases here... what you choose you got...
