Mortgage Refinancing

Mortgage Refinancing

What is Mortgage Refinancing?

Mortgage refinancing is the process of replacing your existing mortgage with a new one, often with different terms and a new interest rate. Homeowners refinance their mortgages for various reasons, including reducing monthly payments, shortening the loan term, converting from an adjustable-rate to a fixed-rate mortgage, or accessing home equity to fund other expenses. By refinancing, you can potentially save money, manage your debt more effectively, or achieve other financial goals.

Terms for Mortgage Refinancing

Loan Term:

How long you need to pay off your mortgage; it's usually upto 25 years.

Closing Costs:

The fees and expenses connected with finalizing the refinancing process.

Loan-to-Value Ratio (LTV):

The percentage of the loan amount is relative to the appraised value of a property.

Interest Rates:

The cost of using someone else's money, reflected as a percentage of the amount borrowed.

Equity:

The difference between your home value and what you still owe on your mortgage.

Debt-to-Income Ratio:

Your total monthly debt payments are divided by your gross monthly income.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I consider refinancing my mortgage?

Common reasons include lowering your monthly payments, reducing your interest rate, shortening the loan term, switching from an adjustable-rate to a fixed-rate mortgage, or accessing home equity.

How do I know if refinancing is right for me?

Consider refinancing if you can secure a lower interest rate, improve your loan terms, or meet financial goals like consolidating debt, funding home improvements or purchase another property.

What are the costs associated with refinancing?

Refinancing typically involves closing costs such as pre-payment fee of existing lender (occasionally paid by refinancing bank), appraisal fees, loan origination fees, and other related expenses.

How can I calculate the break-even point for refinancing?

The break-even point is the time it takes for the savings from refinancing to cover the closing costs, calculated by dividing the total closing costs by the monthly savings.

What is the difference between a fixed-rate and an variable-rate mortgage?

A fixed-rate mortgage has a constant interest rate through a fixed term, while an adjustable-rate or variable rate mortgage has an interest rate that can change periodically.

What documents are needed for refinancing?

Commonly required documents include bank statements, pay stubs, business bank statements and tax returns (if self-employed), and information about your current mortgage.

What is a cash-out refinance?

A cash-out refinance allows you to take out a new mortgage for more than you owe on your existing mortgage and receive the difference in cash. The maximum cash-out amount may vary depending on the lender. You could speak with one of our mortgage advisors to discuss eligibility.

How long does the refinancing process take?

The refinancing process typically takes 30 to 45 days, but this can vary depending on the lender and your specific situation.

There is no set limit on the number of times you can refinance, but it's important to consider the costs and benefits each time to ensure it makes financial sense.
