Is Refinancing Worth It Right Now? Most People Get This Wrong.
I’ve closed over a thousand of these, and the pattern is always the same: people refinance because the rate “feels” lower, not because the math actually works for their timeline. A refi that saves you $180/month but costs $6,000 to get there doesn’t pay you back for 4 years — if you move or refi again before then, you lost money. Run your real numbers below before you decide anything.

This is the one number that actually matters: how many months until the savings outweigh what you paid to get them. If you’re not planning to stay in the home past your break-even point, the refi isn’t worth it — no matter how good the new rate looks.

Your equity is sitting there whether you use it or not. This gives you a realistic read on what’s actually available to pull out — for a renovation, an investment property down payment, or paying off higher-interest debt — without guessing at what your lender will approve.

I’ll personally flag it the moment rates hit your target. Most people either refi too early and leave savings on the table, or wait too long and miss the window entirely — I’ll make sure you don’t do either.
