Want to lower your monthly home loan payments?
Are you a homeowner who bought when mortgage rates were
low, you may have no interest in refinancing your present
loan. But maybe you bought your home when interest rates
were higher. Or maybe you have an adjustable-rate loan
and would like to get different payment terms.
If you do refinance your home loan, the process will
remind you of what you went through in obtaining the
original mortgage. That's because, in reality, refinancing
a mortgage is simply taking out a new mortgage. You
will encounter many of the same procedures-and the same
types of costs-the second time around.
How Would You Know if Refinancing Is Worth It?
Refinancing can be worthwhile for many people, but it
is not in everyones best interest. A general role of
thumb is that refinancing becomes worthwhile if the
current interest rate on your mortgage is at least 2
percentage points higher than the prevailing market
rate. This interest rate difference is generally accepted
as the safe margin when balancing the costs of refinancing
a mortgage loan against the savings to bring you. Other
considerations, such as how long you plan to stay in
the house. Most experts say that it takes at least three
years to realize fully the savings from a lower interest
rate, given the costs of the refinancing. Depending
on your loan amount and your specific situation. However,
you might choose to refinance a loan that is only 1.5
percentage points higher than the current rate. You
may even find you could regain the costs in a shorter
time.
