HomeMortgage Refinancing

If you refinance into a loan with a lower interest rate than your current one, your monthly payment would be reduced, resulting in considerable savings over the life of your mortgage. Securing a lower interest rate may happen because you qualify for a lower rate due to market conditions or an enhanced credit score, factors that were not in place the first time you borrowed.

To pay off your mortgage faster, you can adjust your mortgage term and refinance into a shorter-term mortgage. This move would result in higher monthly payments but a lower average interest rate. When interest rates fall, this choice will seem prudent. In this scenario, you can refinance your mortgage for a shorter period than your current one without significantly increasing your monthly payments.

Debt consolidation is the process of combining two or more loans into one. A debt consolidation mortgage is a long-term loan that allows you to pay off other high-interest loans by only having one low-interest mortgage. High-interest debts from credit cards or loans make managing your finances difficult. As a result, if you are a homeowner, it might be prudent to use your home equity to bundle your high-interest-rate loans into a single consolidated mortgage with a lower interest rate.

If interest rates at the time of your refinancing are low but are projected to increase in the future, it might be prudent to convert from an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate mortgage (FRM). When you have an adjustable-rate mortgage, your monthly payment will fluctuate up and down as interest rates change. However, FRM provides you with the assurance that your monthly payment will remain constant during the loan period, regardless of changes in the market interest rate.

When you have a fixed-rate mortgage and market interest rates decline, your monthly payments will not decrease. If you have an adjustable-rate mortgage, though, your monthly payment will decline as interest rates fall. As a result, switching from a fixed-rate mortgage to an adjustable-rate mortgage can be a sound financial strategy when the interest rate continues to drop.
