Definition: The term "refinancing mortgage rate today" refers to the current interest rates for a mortgage loan that are being refinanced.
A "refinancing mortgage rate" is the annual percentage rate (APR) or the interest rate on the loan, which is charged on the amount of the original principal balance. It's typically listed in your lender's website or your bank's online portal.
For example, if you're currently paying a 5% fixed-rate mortgage with an initial interest payment of $2,000 per month, your monthly refinancing rate will be 4.978% (which is 5%
12 months = 6% per year).
If the interest rates were to increase to 5% for this same loan term, you would pay an additional $1,200 in interest each month.
However, as a rule of thumb, if you're paying more than the original principal balance in the first month after refinancing, you're likely to see a higher refinance rate. This is because the lender needs to cover the potential cost of any changes made to your loan that resulted from the refinancing.
