Understanding Loan Refinancing
When to Refinance
- Lower Interest Rates: Rates have dropped at least 0.5% since your original loan
- Improved Credit Score: Your credit has improved significantly, qualifying you for better rates
- Shorten Loan Term: Pay off your loan faster without significantly increasing monthly payments
- Cash-Out Needs: Access home equity for renovations, debt consolidation, or investments
- Remove PMI: If home value increased, refinancing can eliminate mortgage insurance
Refinancing Costs
- Application and origination fees (0.5-1% of loan amount)
- Appraisal fees ($300-$500 for home valuation)
- Title search and insurance costs
- Credit report and underwriting fees
- Consider paying discount points to lower your rate if staying long-term
