Refinance Activity Broke an Almost 9-Year Record in February

Thursday, March 18, 2021

It hasn't exactly been a scramble, but homeowners have stepped up their refinancing activity over the last two months as they saw interest rates begin a slow but steady march higher.  The February Origination Insights Report from ICE Mortgage Technology shows the refinancing share of all loans originated during the month moved 1 point higher to 68 percent. This is an 8 point increase from December's 60 percent share. The conventional loan share of refinancing is up 7 points over the last two months. ICE says that a 68 percent refinancing share is a figure not seen since December 2012. The 30-year rate for all closed loans and conventional loans rose 1 basis point each to 2.89 percent and 2.92 percent, respectively compared to the prior month. Thirty-year rates for FHA loans held steady at 2.86 percent and VA loans were unchanged at 2.60 percent.

Being a first-time homeowner we were little nervous but Charles made it so easy, he took care of everything!!!We were so impressed on our first meeting, he explained the whole process listed out the thing we needed and that is it. From the beginning to the closing he was always there for us. My wife and I are so grateful to Midwest family lending and Charlie.
