Mortgage Refinance Basics
What does it mean to refinance a home?
Refinancing is the process of paying off an existing mortgage with a new mortgage. Homeowners commonly explore refinancing to change an interest rate, adjust the monthly payment, change the loan term, or access available equity.
Your current mortgage is reviewed.
We start with where you are today, including your existing loan and refinance goals.
Available refinance options are compared.

You decide whether refinancing makes sense.
A refinance should be evaluated around your goals—not simply because a new loan is available.
Why Homeowners Refinance
Start with the outcome you're trying to accomplish.
There isn't one refinance strategy that fits every homeowner. Your current mortgage, property, equity, credit profile, available rates, costs, and future plans all help determine whether refinancing may be worthwhile.

Before You Refinance
Questions worth asking before replacing your mortgage.
Refinancing can be useful in the right situation, but a lower advertised rate by itself does not tell the whole story.
How long do you expect to keep the home?
Closing costs and the time needed to recover those costs may matter when evaluating a refinance.
How does the new loan term compare with your current loan?
Restarting or extending a repayment period can change total borrowing costs even when the monthly payment changes.
What is the estimated property value and available equity?
Property value can affect loan-to-value calculations and available refinance options, especially for cash-out refinancing.
What are the estimated closing costs?
Compare the costs of obtaining the new loan with the financial benefit you expect from the refinance.
Are you focused on payment, term, equity, or another goal?
Defining the goal first makes it easier to compare refinance scenarios that actually address what you want to accomplish.
Does the new mortgage fit your longer-term plans?
A refinance should be considered as part of your overall housing and financial plans—not just today's rate.
Mortgage Refinance FAQ

Homeowners may explore refinancing when they want to review their interest rate or monthly payment, change the loan term or structure, or access available home equity.
