Is it a good idea to refinance your house with countrywide when the government has just lowered interest rates
JaynaAll the costs will add about 4% to your loan, and add years to the other end. If you will likely sell the house eventually, and this will lower your costs, its a pretty good idea.Calculate if your payments will come down. If they won't, its only a good thing for Countrywide.
Alyssactarr is right!
Rudytell them you want the new lower rate.
DaiseyThe rates that were just lowed was the Prime rate, not the mortgage rates. Unless you have a line of credit that has a variable rate (ie equity-line, heloc, home equity line of credit) mortgage rates will not necessarily come down as well.

ColeAs long as the numbers fall in your favor it is, like favorable interest rates and closing costs.
CallieThat depends on what rate you have, what rate they will give you, how long you have left on your mortgage, how much your payments are, and how much your fees would be.
