Waiting for mortgage rates to drop before you refinance? Here is the hidden trap.

If your home value has gone down, your loan to value ratio goes up. Lenders have strict appraisal limits. If you lose too much home equity, you might be blocked from refinancing entirely, no matter how low interest rates fall.

Do not guess where you stand in today’s real estate market.
