Yes, you can refinance to a lower rate. It’s easy and people do it all the time. There is some cost overhead so you don’t do it everytime rates drop a tiny bit. But if they drop more than 1% it’s easily worth it.

It's almost unbelievable how easy it can be.

I got a call from the company that held my mortgage asking why I hadn't responded to the refinance offer they had sent me. I told them I wasn't aware of any such offer. They said they had FedExed an offer to me a couple weeks earlier.

I went and looked on the front porch, and sure enough there was a thick FedEx package there. I hadn't noticed that because I used the back door as my main entry/exit door.

Inside was all the paperwork, prefilled, for a refinance with instructions that said all I had to do to accept was call them and tell them, and then they would send a notary to meet me at home or at my office with a copy of the documents for me to sign.
