I generally don’t get too excited about little movements in interest or mortgage rates, but they are moving into record-low territory.
It could truly be worth considering refinancing if you are going to stay in your home awhile.
Mortgage-finance company Freddie Mac said last week the average rate stood at 4.72 percent. The record low was 4.71 percent. This is the kind of rate your grandfather or great-grandfather might have paid. Even 15-year mortgages are dropping.
