It has been reported thatapplications for refinancing have nearly quadrupled within the past quarter. Everyone should take a closer look to see if they can significantly lower their mortgage. Although credit standards are a bit tougher now, it is not as difficult as you would think to get a new loan in Hoboken. If your credit score is 740 or better, you are in great shape to refinance. If your score is between 620 and 720, you will find higher pricing for a given interest rate at these scores. A big hurdle to get over is to make sure your loan will be equal to or less than 80 percent of the value of your home. Otherwise, you will be required to pay mortgage insurance, which could wipe out the monthly cost of a lower interest rate. If you want to refinance in order to take cash out, experts generally agree that now is not the time, especially in this economic climate. Only refinance if you can reduce your interest rate enough and significantly lower your monthly payments.
