Good Morning - I was just wondering if I should refinance. The details are
Good Morning - I was just wondering if I should refinance. The details are as follows: Currently: 143k left on 30 year loan. 5.25%. And we're paying about 100 dollars over the mortgage against principal. ($1131 is payment, we pay $1250) Proposed: Going to a 15 year at 4.25% - bringing 8k to close and having $1310 payment a month. We'd like to stay in the house until it's paid off - I just hate paying interest :) I also want to know if it would be better to refinance - or just add another 75 bucks a month to the 30 year. I think that would take it down a few more years in duration - but we'd save more on the 15. Just wondering what your thoughts were. Thanks! Elijah B

By refinancing to $143,000 mortgage at 4.25% you save about $13,700 over 15 years more than you would save if you add another $75 to the present payment, whihc is a payment you already add $100 to.
So, refinance at 4.25% or less. You may be able to get 4.125% today.
