The Perfect Time to Refinance

Historically Low Rates Make It The Perfect Time to Refinance Your Home

With mortgage rates at an all time low, it may be the perfect time to refinance. Refinancing can make a huge difference in your monthly budget and ability to pay off your mortgage faster. Not sure if it is the right option for you? There are a variety of reasons to consider a mortgage refinance.

1. You have an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM)
   If you have an ARM, you should consider switching to a fixed-rate mortgage. With a fixed-rate, you can avoid the risk of your loan rate increasing and ensure predictable monthly payments.
2. You want a shorter loan term
   A shorter loan term means you’ll pay less in total interest. If your mortgage is a 30-year term, then refinancing can get you down to a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage. Keep in mind, if you already have a low rate on your 30-year term, you may not want to refinance. It could end up costing you more, so make sure to run your numbers and calculate what your monthly payment would be on a 15-year term.
3. You want to lower your interest rate
   If your current mortgage has a high interest rate, refinancing to a lower rate is a smart move, even if you keep the loan terms the same. This can significantly drop your monthly payments.
4. To get cash from your home
   If you need funds to pay for major expenses or to help pay off debt, refinancing allows you to tap into your home’s equity to get cash for these expenses.
