Keep in mind, however, that there are usually lender fees and other costs associated with originating the new loan. If you do apply for this type of mortgage refinancing, make sure that the savings from refinancing will outweigh the costs of the transaction. The time that you plan to remain in your home is important to consider, as well. Selling your home before you break even on the refinance will end up costing you more money than if you never refinanced your first mortgage. Another situation wherein refinancing is a good idea is when the interest rate on an adjustable rate mortgage or ARM increases.
