Mortgage Refinancing

What Is Mortgage Refinancing?

When you purchased your home, you financed it with a mortgage. Now, you can refinance it. You can dissolve your current mortgage and then take on a new one. One of the many advantages of doing so is that the new mortgage does not have to have the same conditions, from interest rates to term length. If your financial situation has changed, or if market conditions have changed, you can choose a mortgage that is more to your advantage.

There are other great ways to use a refinance to your benefit beyond just changing the terms of your mortgage. We detail these below.

When Should You Refinance Your Mortgage?

• Your income or credit score have improved: If you’ve started earning more money and/or your credit score has improved significantly, then you may be able to qualify for much better terms than you did with your original mortgage. It can benefit you financially to refinance if this is the case.
• Your financial situation has worsened: Refinances are also valuable for those who have hit some roadblocks in their financial progress or even those who have had financial emergencies. A refinance can get you better terms that can make it easier to meet your monthly payments.
• You’d benefit from consolidating debt: You can package other higher-interest debt that you have into your mortgage. This can benefit you by lowering the interest that you pay on your debt overall. However, it needs to be worth the cost of refinancing, which includes closing costs, penalties or possible fees. Our team can make sure refinancing makes sense for you.
• The market has changed: Are lower interest rates now available? A simple rule of thumb says that if you could get a one percent reduction in interest then you could benefit from a refinance. However, everyone’s situation is different, and we can help you to assess whether it will benefit you.
• You’d benefit from changing the terms: If you can otherwise significantly benefit from changing the terms of your mortgage, then you should consider refinancing it. For example, a common change is moving from an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage.
• Large purchases: When you refinance you can gain access to the equity in your home. If you need large sums of money for renovations, a new down payment, or some other major expense, refinancing can be advantageous.

What Do You Need To Refinance?

There are several qualifications you must meet in order to be eligible to refinance your home. Each lender has different guidelines and navigating these guidelines is what we do best. We can help you assess if you’ll be approved for a refinance and find the suitable lender which offers the best deal.
