Should I refinance?

Refinancing your mortgage may save you substantial amounts of money, but there are associated fees. The easiest way to determine if refinancing makes sense for you is to calculate the closing costs of the refinance loan, and how long it will take to "break even" on those costs with the lower monthly payments you receive through the refinancing.

If you will live in the house longer than this break-even point, refinancing could be a good option. Fidelity has been working closely with Louisiana homeowners since 1908. We can help you calculate this break-even point and assess the best strategy for you as you continue your homeownership journey.

Contact a lender today to find out if refinancing is right for you.
