Can I Pay My Home Loan Off Early If I Refinance?

March 22, 2022 by Angela MacKinnon

Can I Pay My Home Loan Off Early If I Refinance?Many people are looking for opportunities to save money on the cost of a mortgage. If you want to save money on your home loan, you might be thinking about refinancing. During the refinance process, you will replace your current home loan with a new mortgage. Some people want to refinance their homes to free up cash for a renovation project, while other people want to pay off their homes sooner. How can you pay off your home loan early through a refinance?

Reduce Your Interest Rate 

During the refinance process, you might qualify for a lower interest rate. There are numerous reasons why you might get a lower interest rate when you refinance your mortgage. The average interest rate may have come down, your credit score may have improved, or your debt to income ratio may have gotten better. If you were due to your interest rate, more of your monthly payment will go towards the principal, shrinking your balance faster. As a result, you may pay off your mortgage more quickly. 

Reduce The Term of the Loan 

If you refinance your home, you might be able to reduce the term of the loan. The term is how many years it takes you to pay off your mortgage. For example, you may be able to reduce your 30-year mortgage to a 15-year mortgage. If you shorten the term of your loan, you may qualify for a lower interest rate, which can help you save money; however, directly shortening the term of the loan could cause your monthly payments to go up. You could work with a professional who can help you with the math. That way, you understand exactly how much you owe every month. 

Consider Paying Off Your Mortgage More Quickly

If you want to save money on interest during the life of your loan, one way to do so is to pay off your mortgage faster. You might be able to do this if you refinance your home loan. Reach out to a professional who can take a look at the balance of your home loan. You might qualify for a refinance that can help you save money on your mortgage.
