When you are informed, you are empowered! Let’s help you make an informed decision for your next potential refinance.

Lower Your Interest Rate

Experts suggest considering a mortgage refinance when your current rate is above today’s rate by 0.75%.

Refinancing at the right time can help you secure a much lower fixed rate, and save you thousands of dollars in interest over the lifetime of your loan. That’s money you could use to pay down debt, invest, or go on that dream vacation you’ve been planning.

Reduce Your Monthly Payments

If you’re struggling to keep up with high monthly payments on a 15-year mortgage, refinancing to a 30-year mortgage can help ease the burden. It’s a great way to lower your monthly payment and free up some cash for other expenses.

The opposite holds true, if you are confident, you can take on higher monthly payments, you can switch to a 15-year mortgage to cut down on interest charges. This is your opportunity to change your payment duration to what better suits your financial plan.

Stabilize With a Fixed-Rate

If you have an adjustable-rate mortgage, refinancing to a fixed-rate mortgage can provide stability and help you avoid surprises down the road. With fixed rates, budgeting is easier, and making payments is less stressful.

Securing a fixed rate might make sense when rates unpredictably rise due to inflation. With a fixed-rate mortgage, your payment stays the same even if rates continue to rise.
