Should I refinance my mortgage?
If you're trying to determine whether you should refinance your mortgage, use our mortgage calculators to determine what your monthly savings might be at different rate points. A typical rule of thumb is that if you can reduce your current interest rate by 0.75-1% or higher, then it might make sense to consider refinancing move. If you have questions about whether refinancing your mortgage may benefit you, our loan officers can assist you in reviewing the benefits of refinancing.

Can I refinance my mortgage even if I owe more than my home is currently worth?
Yes, but you would need to pay the difference between what is owed on your mortgage and your home's current value at closing.
