3 Signs It Is Time For You To Refinance Your Mortgage

May 14, 2020 by Andrey Dimitrashchuk

3 Signs It Is Time For You To Refinance Your MortgageIf you are looking for ways to save money on your mortgage, refinancing might be a good option. For those who might not know, refinancing can help a homeowner reduce monthly mortgage payments by switching to a lower interest rate. 

Basically, the homeowner takes out one loan at a lower interest rate to pay off the old loan, which is at a higher interest rate. While the homeowner may have to pay closing costs a second time, this could save someone hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of the loan. Furthermore, those who want to pay off their loan more quickly may be able to do this as well. There are a few signs that someone should refinance their home loan immediately.

1. Current Mortgage Rates Are Significantly Lower

One of the biggest signs that someone should refinance is that current home loan interest rates are way lower than what they have. While everyone’s financial situations are different, if the current average interest rate is more than a point lower than your current interest rate, you should consider refinancing

While not everyone is going to qualify for the current average interest rate, some people might. This means that this is a possibility worth examining. If you can qualify for a much lower interest rate, it is time to refinance.

2. Your Credit Is Good

In order for you to qualify for home loans with lower interest rates, your credit has to be in good shape. There are ways for you to improve your credit score. Paying off credit card debt, paying your bills on time, and fixing errors on your credit report are all great ways to raise your credit score. If your credit score is good, it might be time to refinance.

3. You Are Not Moving Any Time Soon

As mentioned above, you may have to pay closing costs when you refinance. Therefore, if you plan on staying in that house for a while, this could be a good time to refinance. On the other hand, you don’t want to pay closing costs just to move again next year.

These are a few of the biggest signs that indicate it is time for you to refinance. Don’t pass up this chance to save money!
