And you were RIGHT.
But did you act?
In April 2024, rates in my historical dataset were 7.17%.
By September, they'd dropped to 6.09%.
By November? Back up to 6.83%.
Here's the tricky part about waiting for rates to come down:
You have to decide when they've come down enough.
Nobody sends out an announcement saying, "Congratulations! This is the bottom!"
Believe me I wish that would happen 😀
If refinancing would improve your financial situation, it's worth looking at the actual numbers instead of trying to time the market perfectly.
