Once you decide how long you want to remain in your house, and you have a good idea of your other long-term plans, you might decide that you want to refinance. This may especially be the case if you see that mortgage rates are far lower than what you’re paying for your original loan.
But there are other reasons people choose to refinance. These include the following.
These just scratch the surface of the many, many reasons people choose to refinance a home. Whatever your reason may be, we’ll be ready to work with you at Gem Home Loans.
You might assume that when short-term interest rates go down, mortgage rates will automatically go down as well. But that’s not always the case. Don’t put too much focus on any low mortgage rates you might see advertised, or you may read about. When it comes to refinancing, rates can change by the day – in fact, they can change by the hour. If you’re quoted a rate, you need to remember that it could be higher or lower than the rate you might have seen earlier that morning.
One of the best ways to get a really good rate is to have a really good credit score. If you do, and you can provide proof that you have a steady source of income, than the chances are good that you’ll find an excellent rate.
Another think you might be considering is how much of a mortgage rate drop it will take in order for refinancing makes sense. The rule of thumb used to be that if the current rate was one percent lower than your original rate, you should refinance. However, for your specific situation, a drop of as little as a half-point might make refinancing worth it.
The best way to make the best choice is to talk to a professional with Gem Home Loans. We can tell you what the costs of refinancing may be, and whether or not you’d face some sort of penalty for paying off your original loan early. In short, we’ll make sure we cover all the important points you might not have previously considered.
