Refinancing Basics

When refinancing makes sense (and when it doesn't)

Refinancing isn't always the right move, even when rates look attractive. The real question is whether the benefit you'd gain over time outweighs the cost of refinancing itself. Your current loan balance, how long you plan to stay in your home, and the difference between your rate and what's available now all factor in. A loan officer can run the math with you in minutes—it's one of those decisions that looks simpler once you see the actual numbers. If you've been thinking about it but weren't sure where to start, that's exactly what I'm here for.

Let's talk through whether a refinance could work for your situation.

Tip of the Week

Closing costs typically run 2-5% of the loan amount. Ask your lender for a Loan Estimate so there are no surprises.

Tips for Homeowners

Protecting Yourself from Mortgage Scams

1.

Wire fraud is one of the fastest-growing real estate scams. Never wire closing funds based solely on email instructions — always verify account numbers by calling your title company at a number you look up yourself.

2.

Loan modification and foreclosure rescue scams target homeowners in distress. Legitimate help is available free through HUD-approved counseling agencies at 800-569-4287.

3.

Be wary of unsolicited offers to refinance or cash out equity at terms that sound unusually favorable. If someone contacts you out of the blue, verify their NMLS license number at nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
