Is Now the Right Time to Refinance? The Fed Thinks So.

If you’ve been waiting for mortgage rates to dip, the Federal Reserve’s rate cut yesterday may be the sign you’ve been looking for. Rates on a 30-year fixed mortgage have already dropped to around 6.35%—their lowest level in nearly a year (AP News). According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, refinancing applications jumped 57.7% last week as homeowners rushed to lock in savings (Reuters).

Why consider refinancing now?

  • Lower your monthly payment: A reduced interest rate can shrink your monthly obligations and free up cash for other priorities.

  • Pay off your mortgage faster: Refinance to a shorter term and save significantly on interest over the life of your loan.

  • Access your home’s equity: Tap into built-up value for renovations, debt consolidation, or big life events.

At Premia Mortgage, we make the process seamless. If you’re already a Premia borrower, you’ll qualify for our no-lender fee refinance—a benefit designed to make lowering your rate even more rewarding.

As AP News reported, “Mortgage rates have been mostly falling since late July on expectations of a Fed rate cut.” That means the window of opportunity is here now, and it may not last.
