Common questions

When does it make sense to refinance?

Refinancing is typically worthwhile if you can lower your rate by at least 0.5–1%, plan to stay in the home long enough to recoup closing costs, or need to switch from an adjustable to a fixed rate.

How do I calculate my refinance break-even point?

Divide total closing costs by monthly savings. For example, $4,000 in costs with $200/month savings = 20 months to break even. Stay longer than that and you come out ahead.
