Bank of America refinance mortgage rates have been very steady in January after a volatile December. If you are looking for Bank of America home loans you are going to find a 30 year fixed mortgage rate around 4.9%. You must understand that this interest rate is for well-qualified homeowners who have a good credit score and have not missed bill payments in the recent past.
Bank of America has done a great job of marketing their home loans division. If you watch any financial network or news network on television you are going to see a commercial for Bank of America home loans within 30 minutes. The amount of money spent on marketing is likely to bring many new customers to Bank of America. How much money they will make in profit off this has yet to be determined.
After the purchase of Countrywide, Bank of America holds the most mortgages of any lender in the United States. Many of these mortgages are considered bad loans because Countrywide had great exposure to subprime mortgages. With this being the case Bank of America is having to work very hard to continue to make a profit.
Bank of America has gone through many changes over the last six months including a new CEO. Something the Bank of America has been scrutinized for is the current home loan modification program. At the present time a very small percentage of Bank of America home loans have been modified to lower monthly mortgage payments. Bank of America has publicly stated that they are going to work harder to make this program successful.
