A refinance rate is the interest rate offered when you replace an existing mortgage with a new one, often to secure a lower interest rate or adjust loan terms.
Why Refinance Your Mortgage?
-Lower Monthly Payments – Reduce your monthly burden by securing a lower rate.
-Shorter Loan Term – Pay off your mortgage faster with a 15-year refinance.
-Switch from Adjustable to Fixed Rate – Get stability by switching to a fixed-rate mortgage.
-Cash-Out Refinance – Borrow against home equity for major expenses like renovations or debt consolidation.
