Refinance

Refinance — does it actually make sense?

Refinancing isn't automatically a win. It's worth it when the savings outrun the costs before you'd sell or refinance again. Here's how to check.

Start with your goal

Different goals lead to different math. Pick the one that fits.

Lower the monthly payment

A lower rate or longer term can reduce your payment — but resetting the term can cost more interest overall.

Pay it off faster

Moving to a shorter term usually raises the payment while cutting total interest.

Tap equity (cash-out)

Borrow against equity for a specific purpose. Weigh the new payment against the benefit.

Change loan type

For example, moving off an adjustable rate for more predictability.
