My wife and I started shopping to refinance our mortgage when fears about COVID-19 were driving mortgage rates lower, just before the Federal Reserve cut interest rates.
On March 2, we looked at mortgage rates after seeing the impact COVID-19 had on the markets.
The Federal Reserve cut rates but mortgage rates went upOn March 3, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.5% at an emergency meeting.
Rather than taking the lower rate, our loan officer allowed us to get an even larger credit and keep our 3.125% interest rate.
To make things even sweeter, our mortgage rate is now 0.625% lower.
