According to bankrate.com interest rates for 15 year fixed mortgages are currently 4.0% which is very low. If your mortgage is at a higher rate than this, or if you have a variable rate mortgage, now could be a very good time to consolidate.
Consolidating your loans can save you a whole lot of money. It is always best to pay the least amount of interest possible. The two ways of doing this is by paying your loan off more quickly or by getting a lower interest rate.
Historically, mortgage interest rates have been much higher than they are today. These rates will only last while the economy is still weak. As the economy is currently in recovery, interest rates are only going to go up.
Don't wait until it is too late to take advantage of these low interest rates. If you do, it may end up costing you money.
