Smart moment to refinance ARMs as fixed rates fall
Homeowners with adjustable-rate mortgages may gain by refinancing now to fixed-rate loans. The flat yield curve has pushed ARM adjustments higher while 30-year fixed rates hover around 7.26 percent with point costs. Comparing a $100 000 loan, a fixed loan costs about $683 monthly versus $753 for an ARM, enabling payoff in about six years if the savings are used to cover refinancing costs and future rate risk.
