If you have served in the armed forces or national guard - you should check out the benefits of a VA mortgage. If you have a service connected disability of 10% or greater the VA funding fee would be waived.Harry Newell

If you are comfortable with your current mortgage payment, seek out a no-cost refinance transaction to a shorter-term note. Once you have done this, continue to make your existing payment to accelerate your amortization even faster. Good luck.

Based upon the info you gave, it appears that you purchased your home for $236,000, at a 5.5% interest rate with a monthly payment of $1,330 if you didn't make any extra payments during the 9 years of the loan. If this is correct, the balance would be the $200,000 that you stated. Your best bet is to refi into a 20-year loan with a payment of about $1,212/mo., save $118/mo., pay off your loan in 20 years instead of 21, and save a little over $44,000. However, if you can afford an additional $100/mo., you might want to consider a 15-year loan with a payment of about $1,430/mo. With this loan, not only will you pay it off 6 years ahead of your current one, you will also save almost $80,000 over the 15 years compared to your present loan.
