Full Steam Ahead for Refi Boom as Rates Hit New Lows

Rates have been pushing long-term lows off-and-on for months.  In fact, we've spent more than 7 months in territory that makes refinancing attractive for big contingent of homeowners who purchased or refi'd in 2017-2018.  Making the boom even boomier is the fact that folks who refi'd in early 2019 are already back in the money for another refi now.

The numbers corroborate this.  The Mortgage Banker's Association continues showing refi applications at higher levels than those seen during the 2016 refi boom.  Simply put, we're looking at the strongest refi demand since 2012.
