On a hypothetical $400,000, 30-year loan, that increases monthly principal and interest by $21.48, from $2,647.79 to $2,669.27.

Low-rate mortgages keep homeowners weighing the cost of a move - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
About half of outstanding mortgages carry interest rates of 4% or lower,Federal Reserve Governor Michael S. Barr said last week; nearly 80% have rates below 6%. On Monday, September 28, the 30-year fixed rates in RateZip’s lender collection ranged from 6.25% to 7.5%. Those older loans help explain why a homeowner considering a move has more to weigh than the next home’s price.

Homeowners are borrowing against their houses instead of refinancing them - AOL (opens the original)

That shift shows up plainly in RateZip’sMortgage Demand Index, built from the mortgage inquiries consumers submit across our network. Over the three months through August 2026, home-equity products — HELOCs plus reverse mortgages — drew 76% of all inquiries, up from 43% in the same months a year earlier. Refinance, meanwhile, collapsed from 3
Lenders are pricing the same 30-year loan 1.375 points apart - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Several large lenders shaved their posted mortgage rates Wednesday morning, but the more consequential number for anyone shopping a loan wasn’t the cut. It was the distance between lenders. As of 9:50 a.m. ET, the cheapest posted 30-year fixed rate in RateZip’s tracked set was AmeriSave’s 5.875%. The most expensive was Bank of America’s 7.25%. That is a spread of 1.375 points — worth roughly $363 a month on a $400,000 loan, or many times the 0.125-point trims that Rocket Mortgage (to 7.125%), We
