Dear MarketWatch,

I’m 66 and have a mortgage with $47,000 left on it. My rate of interest is 3%, and it’s a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. I pay $136 a month.

My mortgage was on account of be paid off in 2027. But my previous lender determined to promote my mortgage to a different, and now it appears to be like like my mortgage will solely be paid off once I’m 90 years previous.

I need to refinance my mortgage to a 10-year or a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage, to pay the mortgage off sooner.

So my query is, is it a good suggestion to refinance? Please advise.

Dear No Luck,

Looking at present mortgage charges, I’d say you’re higher off not refinancing your 30-year fastened mortgage.

I do know you need to pay it off quick. But you’ve obtained a mortgage with a 3% rate of interest. You’ve snagged a traditionally low rate of interest, which we could not see once more for years.

If you need to refinance, your month-to-month funds might go up. The mortgage charge for the typical 15-year mortgage is over 5%. I’m not sure if you would like that, as chances are you’ll now be retired, or planning to retire very quickly.

If you’re considering of doing a cash-out refinance, David Krebs, who’s a Florida-based mortgage dealer, stated that it could be a good suggestion, so long as you’ve got sufficient fairness in your house and the property worth is excessive sufficient. 

If you’ve obtained a “pressing need for cash,” Krebs stated, “then it might be worth paying the higher interest rate in exchange for being able to tap into the equity.” Pressing wants might confer with medical payments, or pressing bills. This could be an emergency, and I warning you in opposition to doing it if in any respect doable.

Krebs additionally advised contemplating a reverse mortgage to repay your mortgage utilizing the fairness in your house, after which borrow part of the remaining fairness — both as a month-to-month cost, lump sum or line of credit score. But do your individual analysis earlier than selecting this feature.

You additionally stated that your mortgage transferred fingers between lenders, and — based mostly on you saying you’ll be 90 when it’s paid off — the period obtained prolonged by 20 years. I’m undecided why that occurred. Krebs agreed that this doesn’t make sense. 

On chance: You could have entered right into a mortgage modification with both the previous or new lender.  A mortgage modification is a mutual settlement, the place each the borrower and the lender signal a written settlement modifying the phrases of the mortgage. In your case, the maturity of the mortgage was seemingly prolonged by 20 years, Krebs defined. 

But “it is not normal or legal for the lender to unilaterally extend the term by 20 years,” he added. So double-check to see when you had signed a doc that prolonged the period of the mortgage.

And again to the refinancing query with a last warning. The mortgage charge on a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage simply inched as much as 5.54%. If you refinance, the worth of being debt-free sooner could eat your month-to-month finances.
