What Is Mortgage Refinancing & Why Consider It?
Mortgage refinancing means replacing your current home loan with a new one—often with better terms. This could include:

- Shorter Loan Term: Pay off your mortgage faster and build equity quicker.
- Cash-Out Option: Use your home’s equity for renovations, debt consolidation, or major expenses.
When Is the Right Time to Refinance?
The best time depends on:
- Current Interest Rates: If rates are lower than your existing mortgage, it may be time.
- Your Credit Score: Higher scores often qualify for better rates.
- Home Equity: More equity can unlock better options.
- Your Financial Goals: Looking to save money, pay off debt, or shorten your term.
