If you're a homeowner looking for ways to save money or improve your financial situation, refinancing your mortgage could be a smart move. At Auburn University Credit Union (AUCU), we offer competitive rates, personalized service, and a smooth refinancing process to help you achieve your financial goals.
Why Refinance?
Refinancing your mortgage allows you to replace your existing loan with a new one—often at a lower interest rate or better terms. Homeowners might choose to refinance based on:
- Lower Interest Rates: If market rates have dropped since you took out your original mortgage, refinancing could help you secure a lower rate, reducing your monthly payments.
- Shorten Loan Term: Refinancing to a shorter loan term (e.g., from a 30-year to a 15-year mortgage) allows you to pay off your home faster and save on interest over time.
- Access Home Equity: A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) lets you tap into your home’s equity for home improvements, debt consolidation, or other financial needs.
- Switch Loan Types: Transitioning from an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate mortgage provides stability and predictability in your payments.
