I've been in the house a year and decided to refinance from a 30 year to a 15. Anyone else done this and what rates were you seeing?

Bought my house in July of this year. went with 30 yr fixed @ 4.25

The 15 yrs method was set at 3.85%

If I were you, I waould just make a 14th-15th payments per year. Same as 15yr loan, but this way, your not locked in at a set payment.

I'm currently at a 4.75 and the 15 is a 3.65. It raises my payments only about $ 200. I locked it in today. Do you think we will see rates this low again? Seems like good tIme to buy

There's no such rate at 3.65. Rates are in 1/8ths of a percent so your probably getting 3.625%. Rates for a 15 yr are around 3.375%. Do some shopping brugh..... I think a 15 is a good move if your payment is only going up by 200.

3.625 is what I meant to write. It would be going up 229 bucks to be exact. It will take away from car projects though. Is that seem to be a decent rate? So far i havnt looked around since it's the same lender I currently have
