According to a recent analysis by Black Knight, approximately 5.9 million homeowners nationwide could reduce their mortgage payments by refinancing. Earlier in the year, 30-year fixed rates fell below 4 percent and now average around 3.94 percent.
Black Knight estimates that the savings to be about $271 per month for the average borrower.
Of course, the lower interest rates mean homes are currently a bit more affordable as the average monthly payment on a median-priced home – assuming a 20 percent down payment – has fallen nearly 6 percent in the last half year.
