Hello,
WIth the significant lowering of interest rates a lot of us would be looking to refinance.
What options do persons who have a fixed rate mortgage for eg locked for 5 years have.?
We have to pay a penalty to break the mortgage. My mortgage is at 4.9% fixed and I can get a variable rate of say for eg 4%. DO WE EXPECT THESE LOW RATES TO LAST FOR MORE THAN A YEAR ?
At the differential we can expect to recoup the costs of breaking the mortgage in a year and it would make sense if we can expect the benefit to be there for more than a year. Do we expect these low rates to last more than a year.
What is the CD's advice on breaking a mortgage especially Pramodji I ask what should be our approch to try and save money on interest costs.
Thanks,
Rajiv
