Refinancing typically makes sense when you can lower your rate by at least 0.5–1%, you plan to stay long enough to recoup closing costs, or you want to switch from an ARM to a fixed-rate loan.
Your break-even is how many months it takes to recoup closing costs through monthly savings. If closing costs are $6,000 and you save $200/month, break-even is 30 months. If you plan to move before then, refinancing may not pay off.
Typical refinance closing costs run 2–5% of the loan amount. Some lenders offer no-closing-cost refinances by rolling fees into the rate — useful if you plan to sell or refi again within a few years.
FHA streamline refinances allow scores as low as 580. Conventional refinances typically require 620+. VA and USDA streamlines have even more flexible requirements. Ask our AI advisor about your options.
