Consider This: When to Refinance

11/4/2020

15 Comments

 
Refinancing your mortgage is something most homeowners consider at least once throughout the lifespan of their home loan. It allows you to pay off your previous loan by applying for a new one that has better financial advantages. While there are many good reasons to refinance, here are five common ones.
  • Scoring a lower interest rate. The number one reason homeowners decide to refinance is to secure a lower interest rate on their mortgage. Not only does this save you money in the long run and decrease your monthly payment, but you can start building equity in your home sooner.
  • Using an improved credit score. Even if interest rates have not dropped in the market, if you’ve improved your credit score over the last few years, you may be able to reduce your mortgage rate.
  • Shortening the loan’s term. If interest rates are decreasing, there is a chance you may be able to get a shorter loan term with little to no change in your monthly payment, allowing you to pay off your loan sooner.
  • Switching from an adjustable rate to a fixed rate. If you chose an adjustable-rate mortgage with great introductory rates when you initially financed your home, that rate may increase significantly over the years. By switching to a fixed rate while interest rates are low, you can protect yourself from future increases.
  • Cashing out home equity. If there is a big purchase or payment on the horizon, such as funding a wedding or going back to school, your best option may be to use the equity you’ve built in your home to borrow money at a lower cost.

I want to get a mortgage loan, but I'm not sure what to look into for this. It makes sense that I would want to get a loan that has a good interest rate. I'll be sure to talk with my friends and family to ensure that I do things properly.

I do agree that when considering home mortgage loan, it is important that we take note of our credit score as well as the property value. My brother mentioned he is looking to apply for a mortgage loan. I will advise him to speak with a financial planner to determine if it is a wise choice to proceed.

I liked how you said that you can refinance to shorten the loan's term. My friend is really interested in going from a thirty year plan to something much shorter. I'll be sure to talk to her about this to see if it could be a viable option for her to try out.

I like how you mentioned that throughout the lifespan of their home loan, refinancing your mortgage is something most homeowners consider. My cousin mentioned to me last night that he is looking to refinance their home loans due to financial adjustments and asked if I have any idea what is the best option to do. Thanks to this informative article and I'll be sure to tell him that he can consult a trusted mortgage bank company as they can answer all his inquiries.

When you refinance, you're replacing your original mortgage with a new mortgage that has a lower rate.

Others watch the mortgage interest rates like hawks and refinance every time rates dip. The safest course is somewhere in the middle.

One of the best reasons to refinance is to lower the interest rate on your existing loan. Thank you, amazing post!

Thanks for pointing out that by switching to a fixed rate while interest rates are low, we can protect ourselves from future increases. This is helpful because my husband and I want to have our own home so we can grow our family. With this, we will look for a qualified mortgage broker on Monday who can help us get a mortgage for a two-story house near the beach.

There are several ways to refinance your mortgage; there isn't just one right approach to go about it. You could wish to refinance your adjustable-rate mortgage into a fixed-rate loan with a consistent monthly payment, or you might want to decrease the loan's duration from 30 years to 15 years to cut your interest costs significantly. Another option is to just switch from one 30-year mortgage to another with a cheaper interest rate.

We bought our house a few years ago, and since then, both of us found better-paying jobs, which helped us improve our credit scores. We're glad you explained that people with better credit score is able to reduce their mortgage rate by refinancing it, so we'll look more into this soon. Thank you for the tips on refinancing our home loan to help us reach a lower mortgage rate.
