3 Great Reasons to Refinance Your Home

Over the past 12 months, as mortgage rates have begun to slowly creep upwards, there's a couple of reasons fueling the continued refinance boom.

Reason #1 – Lower Your Monthly Mortgage Payment

For many who didn't refinance over the last few years when rates were really low, you may find that you may still be able to get a lower rate. The general rule of thumb was that if you could find a rate 1% below your current rate, then a refinance would make fiscal sense. However, with today's low closing costs lenders, you may find that even a 0.25% advantage on a new rate would make sense — especially over the life of the loan.

Reason #2 – Switch from a Variable Rate to a Fixed Rate

If you have a variable rate, now would be a good time to look at moving to a fixed rate. Mortgage rates are expected to continue to rise over the next couple of years as the Fed raises rates to fight inflation. Moving to a fixed rate would lock-in a monthly payment.

Reason #3 – Take Cash Out

For homeowners who have built a lot of equity into their homes over the years, a cash-out refinance may be a perfect opportunity to put that tied up cash to good use. Cash-out refinance funds can be used for home improvements, pay off higher interest debt (like credit cards), pay for school, medical bills — whatever your current needs.
