Personal Finance (Not Investing) • Refinance Mega Thread

$

I bought my first house in May 2024 with a 7.375% rate (30-year conventional).

I've gotten a quote for a refinance at 6.5% with no costs (and ~$500 net lender credit) for 30-yr conventional.

This would reduce my monthly PITI a little more than $200.

Seems like a no-brainer to go ahead and refinance now even though rates may be even lower in a few months.

This is relatively new territory for me so want validation from more experienced folks.
My mom has 7.375%.

Can you tell me who is giving you the 6.5% with no costs?

Thank you.
While 30-yr rates have moved up, but assuming SFH/townhouse, LTV < 80%, with outstanding principal of at least $400k, quite a few banks were offering enough lenders' credits to offset Section A, B, and C charges.

Farmers Bank of Kansas City is one such bank and has a national presence. I can't comment on other aspects of its loan process/ loan servicing (it will sell the mortgage note to another servicer).

Actually, right now, its par rate (on $550k outstanding with value of $800k) looks to be 5.625%, with significant lender's credit at 6.0% to offset Sections A - C charges.

With 30-yr mortgages, having a low LTV (say 70% or 75%) is often beneficial.
