Refinancing House

Although house refinancing has been extremely active in the last 18 months, there are still hundreds of thousands of homeowners who have not refinanced their homes (or even considered refinancing) and are paying mortgage payments every month at a rate that is considerably higher than what is currently available. Before you embark on a program of house refinancing, though, there are a few questions you will need to answer. By analyzing your current situation you will be able to make a more informed decision as to which is more beneficial: refinancing or maintaining your current mortgage.

As a general rule of thumb, house refinancing may be worthwhile if your current mortgage rate is at least two points higher than the prevailing market rate. There are other considerations, too, such as how long you plan to stay in the house. Most sources say that it takes at least three years to fully realize the savings from a lower interest rate, given the costs of house refinancing. One of the biggest advantages of house refinancing is often the ability to reduce your loan term without substantially affecting your monthly payment.

Refinancing House
The following example compares a 30 year term mortgage, originally financed at 9.25% APR and with 23 years remaining on the loan, with a refinance for 15 years at 7.25 % APR. Original finance amount was $100,000. Current balance is $93,808.To summarize, if this loan would be refinanced for a 15 year term, the payment would increase $33 a month to $856 but the term remaining would decrease from 276 months to 180 months, and the total payments remaining would decrease from $227,148 to $154,080.
