Is It Time To Refinance?

I never thought I would ever see the Fed cut interest rates to where it is after today....and he claims to have even more up his sleeve. With an above average credit score, are banks more likely to give a better rate on a purchase or a refinance? I realize the amount financed and length of term may have a lot to do with it.

I'm planning to go rate shopping, just curious if anyone has tested the waters lately with any boat financing. I just have to believe there are deals out there....if banks aint lending to good risks, they aint makin money.

I would check credit unions. they have the best rates and fast turnarounds.

I walked in with P&S walked out with 110% in less than a half hour. @ 6% was called last week to lower my rate to 5.50% Credit unions will work with you and you only have to open a savings account and keep a $25 balance

Most of our banks are putting floors on loans and either going with 2/1 arms or selling off fixed rate loans.

Interesting that we had an executive with the Boy Scouts moving into the area wanting a home loan. He started with one of the branches of a 'bailout' firm. We could do the loan a couple hundred bucks cheaper and he said it would be nice to do business local and with someone he knew. We sent him the paper work to fill out for his financials.Get a call wanting to know if he really had to do all that or not. When we told him 'yes', he stated he'd just go with the other bank since they didn't require it ..just his credit score. :wow: :smt009 I'm still shocked... guess I shouldn't be.. but man...... Credit scores are not an end all..
