How Much Does it Cost to Refinance?
Refinancing can help lower your interest rate, reduce monthly payments, or access home equity. However, it comes with upfront costs that should be considered before making a decision.
Refinance Closing Costs
Most refinance closing costs range from 2% to 6% of the new loan amount. The exact amount depends on your lender, loan size, and location.
Common Refinance Fees:
| Fee Type | Typical Cost |
|---|---|
| Application Fee | Up to $500 |
| Origination/Underwriting | 0.5%–1.5% of loan amount |
| Recording Fee | $20–$250 |
| Appraisal | $300–$1,000 |
| Credit Check | Under $30 |
| Title Services | $300–$2,000 |
| Survey | Around $2,300 |
| Attorney/Settlement | $500–$1,000 |
Additional Costs to Consider
Some refinance loans include extra charges beyond standard closing costs.
Prepaid Interest
Prepaid interest covers the days between your loan closing date and the end of the month. The amount varies based on your loan balance and interest rate.
Discount Points
Discount points are optional fees paid upfront to lower your mortgage rate. They can be worthwhile if you plan to stay in your home for several years.
Rate Lock Fees
If your rate lock expires before closing, your lender may charge a fee to extend it and preserve your rate.
Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)
Homeowners with less than 20% equity may need to pay PMI when refinancing into a conventional loan.
What Affects Your Refinance Rate?
Several factors determine the interest rate you'll receive on a refinance loan.
Credit Score
Higher credit scores often qualify for lower mortgage rates and better loan terms.
Lender
Rates and fees vary by lender, making it important to compare multiple quotes.
Refinance Type
Cash-out refinances typically have higher rates than standard rate-and-term refinances.
Loan Amount and Term
Shorter loan terms and smaller loan balances often receive more competitive rates.
Property Type
Primary residences generally qualify for lower refinance rates than vacation homes or investment properties.
