Refinance: New Year, New Mortgage

This is the year to dream big and live larger. In order to do so, you may be looking to check some financial resolutions off the list. Refinancing can help. 

How Do I Lower My Mortgage Payment?

Refinancing to reduce the interest rate is one of the most popular ways to lower your monthly mortgage payment. With interest rates hitting fifty-year lows the chances are, if you have not refinanced your home in the last 2 years, you could be paying less per month. Take a few minutes to fill out a quote or chat with a mortgage banker to get a proper picture.

What Else Can Refinancing Do?

Whatever your New Year’s financial goals are, there is probably a refinancing option to help you achieve it. Different types of refinances can help you…

• pay off debt
• get started on renovations
• pay off your home sooner
• provide financial security

Extra cash –Cash-out refinances allow borrowers to turn their home equity into liquid funds. Those funds can be used for things like renovations or paying off debt. This is also a popular option for couples going through a divorce because one party can keep the house while the other walks away with their share of the equity.

Reduce the Loan Term – When rates are low, there is prime opportunity to save thousands over the life of the loan. Refinancing to shorten the loan term is ideal for borrowers who are comfortable with about the same or a little higher monthly payment. Imagine eliminating your monthly payment all together in half the time! Building equity in double time! And the faster you build equity the more money you receive when the home sells.  

Convert to a Fixed-Rate – Plenty of borrowers have found an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) to be a great short-term option. When nearing the end of the initial fixed period, however, consider locking in a low interest rate. Converting from an ARM through refinance allows homeowners to secure peace of mind when rates are low.
