According to a new study, more than one in four homeowners are in the dark about their
mortgage interest rate—and it could be costing them.
A recent study from Bankrate (explored in an article on Fox Business) found that 27
percent of homeowners in the US don’t know the interest rate on their home. That number is even higher for younger homeowners; a whopping 34 percent of
homeowners between the ages of 29 and 39 are unsure of their interest rate.
And while not knowing your interest rate is always a problem, it’s especially a problem
now, when interest rates have been steadily declining—and many homeowners could
likely refinance, get a lower interest rate, and save hundreds of dollars on their house
payment each month.
The Takeaway:
So, what does this mean for you? If you’re not sure about the interest rate on your
mortgage, you need to find out ASAP—and see if you’re eligible to refinance and cash
in on serious savings over the course of your loan.
