Refinancing typically involves costs such as appraisal and loan origination fees, which can add up to as much as 3% to 6% of the amount you’re refinancing. Understanding the refinancing basics will help you determine if it's right for you.
When Refinancing Your Mortgage Could Be a Smart Option:
- YOUR CREDIT HAS IMPROVED. If you received your mortgage at a time when you had average
credit or a short credit history and your score has since improved, you may qualify for a lower rate
now.
- INTEREST RATES HAVE DROPPED. If rates have gone down, a lower rate could save you
thousands of dollars in interest costs.
- CONSOLIDATE OTHER LOANS. A cash out mortgage refinance can be handy if you’d like to consolidate
any high-interest debts, such as student loans, credit card balances, or medical expenses, or if you
simply want cash out.
- SWITCH FROM AN ADJUSTABLE TO A FIXED-RATE LOAN. If you have an adjustable-rate mortgage,
or ARM, you run the risk of the payments increasing. Refinancing may enable you to switch to a fixed-rate
loan and take the uncertainty out of your mortgage payment plan, which is especially beneficial if you think
rates will increase over time.
- YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR MONTHLY PAYMENT. You may be able to extend your mortgage term to reduce your monthly payment if your current one isn’t affordable anymore. On the flip side, you may also shorten the term, such as getting a 15-year to replace your 30-year term.
