For millions of Americans facing foreclosure, the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut this week was welcome news that could possibly help save thousands of homeowners from default by giving them the opportunity to refinance their adjustable-rate loan into a fixed-rate mortgage with a lower interest rate.
