Mortgage Refinancing: Is It Right for You?

As a member of Public Service Credit Union, you know the value of financial stability. One way to potentially save money and improve your financial situation is by refinancing your mortgage. But is it the right move for you?

Understanding Mortgage Refinancing

Refinancing involves replacing your current mortgage with a new one. This can be beneficial if you can secure a lower interest rate, which can lead to lower monthly payments and potentially save you thousands of dollars over the life of your loan.

Why Consider Refinancing Now?

While interest rates can fluctuate, there are indications that they may be on a downward trend. If your current mortgage rate is higher than current market rates, refinancing could be a smart financial decision.

Key Factors to Consider:

  • Interest Rate: A lower interest rate is the primary reason to refinance.

  • Closing Costs: These are fees associated with refinancing. Ensure that the potential savings outweigh the closing costs. Public Service Credit Union offers some of the lowest closing costs in the area.

  • Loan Term: Consider extending your loan term to lower monthly payments, but be mindful of the increased total interest paid.

  • Equity: You may need a certain amount of equity in your home to qualify for refinancing. Public Service Credit Union requires 20% equity, so make sure you don’t owe more than 80% of the property’s value.
