Mortgage refinancing guide

Refinancing can save money, but it's not always the right move. Here's how to decide.

Refinancing makes sense when rates drop significantly or when you want to change loan terms. If rates drop 0.5-0.75% or more, refinancing typically pays for itself within 2-3 years. Factor in closing costs ($3K-$6K typically). If you plan to stay in your home long enough to recoup costs, refinancing can save money. However, if you're considering selling within a few years, refinancing may not make sense. Compare your current rate, new rate, and closing costs to determine break-even point.
