Should I refinance if it looks I will be moving out in 3 months? My house was appraised at 230K and I owe 110k.

No, and if it is listed for sale you can not refinance.

Are you keeping the property or selling it? Most lenders have a period of time a home can not be on the market.

If it is on the market most lenders will not do a refinance for you. If you disclose your plans most LO's will advise you to not do the refinance as their Commission will be recouped if you do not make 6 payments to the lender.

SO basically I will be out the money for the appraisal fee and the credit report fee if I have already started the process. The reason why I started is we did not know until a couple of weeks ago that we are getting transferred. Kind of sucks. So your suggestion is just cancel the current process?

No, you shouldn't refinance, unless you have an exceptionally high rate and you can recoup your closing cost without increasing your loan balance in the first month and my guess is you want be able to.

Yes, it does kind of suck. So, its best to cut your losses and walk away. The silver lining is you will have an appraisal to prove the value of your house when you sell it.

More info would be needed, but in general, if you're in the process of refinancing and you are now going to be moving, it's probably best to cancel the deal.. If however, the average days on market in your area is 6 months, then there still might be a benefit.. but your refinance would need to be a pure no cost refi.. meaning your loan balance is not going up and your not bringing cash to the table.. and with all that, there's still a savings achievable.. then it might be worth refinancing, but my guess is that in most cases, it's best to just cancel the deal..

yes - cancel process if 1) you are moving and selling within 3 months and 2) if the refinance has costs associated with it ( which I am assuming it does ) ......if there is a chance that you are going to keep the property - then it might be worth completing ..thanks and all the best ...Dave Skow ...Eagle Home Mortgage 206 714 9745 daveskow@eaglehm.com

Yes, if you are selling let the lender know and stop or at least pause the process while you make sure the sale goes through. It's likely they'll find out before you close anyway if the house is listed for sale with a Realtor. Also, you don't want to increase what you owe on the house to access some of the money in it before closing.
