If the interest rate drops significantly lower than your current rate,and your condo is re-assessed at significantly higher than your purchase price, and the rates offered are lower than your lock, AND the fees are minimal. Remember, it always shows on your credit report when you re-finance; and too many reports look bad to some lenders. Look into an equity line of credit or some other options. Talk to your local banks. They know the latest stuff.

I've always been told that the time to re-fi is when the rates are at least 1 full point below your current rate. When the rates were falling, we re-fied 3 times in 1 year.
Tip: to avoid re-fi charges - re-fi at 1/4 pt above the rate you could've got. Lots of lenders offer this option.
