President Obama urged Americans to take advance of the administration’s new program, which allows homeowners whose loans are underwater to refinance.Obama, who spoke Thursday at a White House event, pointed to historically low interest rates and estimated that if 7 million to 9 million homeowners refinance, they will save $1,600 to $2,000 a year.
"That is money in their pocket," Obama said. "We are at a time where people can really take advantage of this, and what we want to do is to send a message that if you are having problems with your mortgage – and even if you're not, and you just want to save some money – you can go to makinghomeaffordable.gov."
