Home Equity Loan
what is a decent interest rate on a HELOC (home equity line of credit). ? we have very good credit and our?
household income is around 130k. we have a mortgage loan of 280,000. our HELOC interest rates is the PRIME RATE plus 3/8ths. we got this home equity line of credit with Countrywide Financial. Our mortgage is with JP Morgan Chase. I'm wondering if I could have done better on the HELOC by going straight to JP Morgan Chase for the HELOC and possibly might have avoided the $500 closing fee? Is this a bad deal I have with Countrywide? Do others know if Countrywide is competitive. I should have compared more before I got the loan. Does Countrywide loan to risky customers and therefore expect a higher interest rate from all its customers?

- You should have gone to your bank first. My bank gave me Prime - 1%. I got an additional .25% reduction in the rate for linking payments to the checking account.
- you definitely should have done research before going into any loan with any bank. Most banks are prime- 0.50% and you probably should have looked around for one that didn't charge closing fees.....the good news is, do your research now, wait a few months and pay off this one with a more competitive offer.
