When Does Refinancing Make Sense?

Rates Have Dropped

If you can get a rate 0.5% to 1% lower than your current rate, refinancing often makes sense.

Break-Even Under 2 Years

If monthly savings will recoup closing costs within 24 months, refinancing is typically worthwhile.

Staying Long-Term

If you plan to stay in your home longer than the break-even period, you'll maximize savings.

Types of Refinancing

Rate & Term Refinance

Replace your current loan with a new one at a better rate or different term without taking cash out.

  • • Lower interest rate
  • • Shorter or longer loan term
  • • Switch from ARM to fixed rate
  • • Remove mortgage insurance

Cash-Out Refinance

Refinance for more than you owe and receive the difference in cash for any purpose.

  • • Home improvements
  • • Debt consolidation
  • • Investment opportunities
  • • Education expenses
