Mortgage rates have been <\/span>falling all year<\/span><\/a>, and fast. The drop has been so swift that people who took out home loans in December might want to think about refinancing already.<\/span>
\nAt least <\/span>6.7 million homeowners<\/span><\/a> are eligible to refinance, according to Black Knight Financial Services Inc., a mortgage technology company. That\u2019s up nearly 30 percent from December.<\/span>
\nIn all, some 3.3 million homeowners could save $200 or more a month by refinancing, the company found. Nearly a million borrowers could save more than $400 a month, or $4,800 a year.<\/span>
\nAll told, the potential savings to homeowners is about $1.67 billion a month, or more than $20 billion a year. If everyone took advantage of low rates, think of the boost it would give to the economy and housing market.<\/span>
\nBlack Knight, which tallied the universe of homeowners paying 4.5 percent or more on their loan who had good credit and at least 20 percent equity, last ran its refi analysis in December, after the Federal Reserve raised short-term borrowing costs and <\/span>everyone was worried<\/span><\/a> that mortgages would get more expensive.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Then came China and<\/span> cheap oil<\/span><\/a> and a global flight to safe financial assets, which instead made mortgages cheaper. Since the Fed rate hike, some 1.5 million people have joined the ranks of refi-ready. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Pay special heed to this message if you live in Hawaii, Washington, D.C., New York, California or Massachusetts. In those markets, homeowners have the biggest opportunities to save. In Hawaii, where more than 28,000 households are eligible for refinancing, the average savings would be $437 a month.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Of course there are good reasons not to refinance. If you\u2019ll be selling soon, for example, a refi might not be worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n

But I’m Underwater<\/h3>\n

Eight years after the financial collapse, the government is still helping homeowners get out from under bad, costly or inappropriate loans so they can benefit from today’s historic low interest rates.<\/span>
\nEven if you have no equity, owe more on your home than it\u2019s worth or have a bad credit score, the Home Affordable Refinance Program, or <\/span>HARP<\/span><\/a>, might be able to help. <\/span>
\nAt last check, almost <\/span>368,000 households <\/span><\/a>were eligible for the program. That number surely has risen this year as rates have fallen.<\/span>
\nNow\u2019s the time to explore your HARP options. The program expires at the end of this year and isn\u2019t likely to be renewed.<\/span>
