Refinance Or Not?

I owe about 100,00 at 5.63 with 14 years left on a 20 year loan. Would it make sense to refinance to a 10 year at 4.12 percent? by jj933jackson3 from Palm Springs, California. Aug 2nd 2010 Reply

When you are lowering the rate and shortening the the term, it almost always makes sense to refi to a lower rate if you can do so at little cost. To know for sure, it would depend on what you are paying for the refinance. A 10 year fixed at that rate should definitely not cost any points and in fact, it should rebate quite a bit in points back to you; so if structured properly, it could be a good deal. Contact me if you have questions or would like another quote. Gregorio Denny --WeFixRates.Com --

If you did it with no fees it would make sense because you are not increasing your loan balance and getting a lower rate. Let me know if you want to know how to do this. Take care,Kyle StancatoBayview Home Loans253-460-6000

It's pretty much an equal situation. Use an amortization calculator and play with the numbers. You may find it's not worth the trouble.Happy funding, Rudi

If you are about 6 years in and now owe about $100K, I am guessing your original loan was $125K. A payment on $125K for 20 years at 5.63 would be about $869 per mo. Based on the figures I ran, I am guessing that if you refinanced to the scenario you mentioned, you would save about $65,000.If you would like the details, call or email me at 888-PierWest(743-7937) X 701 or Matt@pierwestcapital.com.Best,Matt
