Is It Worth It?
June 29, 2008 4:19 am BusinessDo you remember when you purchased your first house? For some of you, it might only be four or five years since purchasing your house, and the majority of details about the process are still in your head. For others of you, it’s been more than a decade and the details have long escaped you. Refinancing is really just like buying your first house. The interest rates might be low enough, compared to your current rate, that it’s an obvious choice to refinance. But, you need to take into consideration that you will need to pay the refinance costs, much like those you paid when you first bought your home. If the rates are low, your monthly payment would go down. The amount that you save each month might easily make up for what you pay in refinance costs. Then, it would definitely be worth it to refinance your loan.
