With mortgage rates plummeting so quickly, millions of homeowners could benefit from refinancing their home. The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage fell to a record low of 3.29%, Freddie Mac reported this week. That’s down from the previous low of 3.31% in November 2012, in the wake of the financial crisis.
