How much you shell out each month for mortgage payment is directly connected to the interest rate of your loan. A half a percentage change will already result to a considerable annual savings. Further, if you are able to shorten the mortgage period together with the decrease in interest rate then a bigger savings in interest payments will even be realize. Of course, when the amortization period is shortened, say from 30 years to 20 years, then you will expect that your monthly payment is going to increase but the good news is a bigger chunk of it goes to principal payments. This will build up your equity faster.
How is your credit score? From the time you purchased the house, do you think your credit score has improved? Did your credit score improve enough that creditors may be able to lower the interest rate for a new loan? Are you entertaining a new form or type of mortgage loan agreement?
You may also have to consider other issues like the following questions. Is this a second home loan mortgage that you are thinking to refinance? Naturally, lenders will be more cautious if it is as they know that your finances are spread thinner with two mortgages. How long have you been paying your mortgage? If you have been paying your mortgage for a long time, a bigger percentage of your payment goes to your principal instead of simply payments for interests. Remember, the longer you have been paying your mortgage the bigger is the percentage that goes to your principal. So you have to consider if it is wise to do a refinancing during the latter part of your amortization period, since you will restart the process once again.
