Homeowners Anyone Refinancing??

I feel like everyone and their mother is refinancing right now. DH and I had a weekend long argument about this, the rates are really good now, (when we closed on our home mortgage at 6%) Is it really worth it though after all the fees and costs?

I think the general rule of thumb is at 1% to make it worth the fee's.....so if you have 6% and can get a 5% then maybe it'd be worth it...what are the rates right now?

The rate are in the 4's rt now, best I heard was 4.375%, DH's aunt and cousin both refinanced and got in the 4's and I couldn't believe it.

we looked into it, and the closing costs would have added up to around $12000, which would have been added onto our principal. So we passed on that, but will probably continue to get quotes from other companies.
