Here’s a partial truth: mortgage refinancing can save you money. Many real estate and financial experts recommend refinancing to improve your financial situation. And they’re right \u2014<\/a> it can lower your interest rate, reduce your monthly payments, or help you pay off your private home mortgage loan<\/strong> faster.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But here’s the truth: the potential savings come with many caveats that many homeowners don’t consider. So, if you’re considering\u00a0refinancing your mortgage loan<\/a> for your Montreal property, know the facts first.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Here are the three most common mortgage refinancing myths and the truth behind them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Myth #1: You Only Need to Keep an Eye on Interest Rates<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Bank of Canada has issued a 75-point rate hike as part of the rate-hiking cycle. Montreal is, of course, not immune to this increase. This means that it\u2019s now more important to monitor your variable-rate mortgage and ensure you have a solid plan in place in case rates continue to increase.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But that’s not the only factor you should keep tabs on. You also need to factor in how long you plan on staying in your home and the fees associated with refinancing. If you plan to move out soon, it may not make sense to refinance a home loan<\/strong> because you won’t have enough time to recoup the costs of the new loan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Myth #2: Your Credit Score Doesn’t Matter<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Securing a\u00a0bad credit mortgage<\/a>\u00a0is difficult. But to refinance mortgage bad credit<\/strong> is an even more Herculean task. A low credit score will result in a higher interest rate and could mean you won’t qualify for refinancing at all.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Lenders use it to decide the interest rate to offer you and whether or not to approve your loan. So, if you have worked towards boosting your score since you first got your mortgage, you may get a better deal by refinancing. But if your score has gone down, you may end up with a higher interest rate \u2014 or you may not be able to refinance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Myth #3: Refinancing Is Not Worth the Hassle<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The process of refinancing a mortgage can be daunting. You’ll need to complete a lot of required paperwork, and fees are often involved. It can be tempting to stay put and keep making your current monthly payments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But if you’re considering refinancing, it’s essential to do the math and figure out if the potential savings are worth the hassle. In many cases, they are. But it’s important to ensure you’re getting a good deal before moving forward. If there’s a substantial difference in the interest rate, the fees and paperwork will be worth it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
