Refinancing can be effective if you consider your refinancing goals and select the option that may be right for you. Consider the following.
If your goal is to:

Reduce monthly payments

  • You can reduce your payment by refinancing when interest rates drop sufficiently below your existing rate.
  • As another option, you can refinance to a longer term mortgage to lower your monthly payment, though you will raise your overall interest costs.
  • With either option, you can pay discount points to further reduce your interest rate.
Repay your mortgage faster
  • Refinance to a shorter term to raise monthly payments for faster repayment and reduce your overall interest payments.
  • If interest rates are low enough, you may be able to get a shorter-term loan for faster repayment without a significant increase in your monthly payment.
Access home equity while lowering payments or repaying faster
  • A cash-out mortgage refinance can affect your mortgage interest rate and provide funds for home improvement, debt consolidation, and other major expenses.
Plan for an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) interest rate change
  • You can explore your options before your payment adjusts to see if refinancing may be right for you.
Access the available equity in your home without reapplying (if you qualify)
  • You complete only one application, work with a single contact, and attend one simultaneous closing transaction for both products.
  • You can choose from a variety of financing options.
