Refinancing from 30 to 15 Year Home Loan

At times, life can be more about peace of mind and less about the bottom line. Refinancing from a 30 year to a 15 year mortgage can provide that peace of mind by allowing you to save money on interest and paying off your mortgage. Especially if interest rates have gone down since you purchased your home. Based on data from ATTOM, 34 percent of homeowners have 100 percent equity in their homes.
The elimination of a monthly mortgage payment prior to retirement can establish a sense of relief when thinking about living on a fixed income during retirement. So, switching to a 15-year mortgage can be a great thing, if you can afford it. If you have been in your home for several years and have set monthly budgets that can comfortably accommodate higher mortgage payments then you are the ideal homeowner candidate.

Refinancing from a 30 to a 15 year home loan is a great option if you have already paid off a large amount of your current mortgage. Remember that the monthly payment after refinancing to a 15 year loan could be higher than that of a 30-year note. However, the savings in the long run will be significant.

A 15 Year Mortgage is Not for Everyone

A 15-year mortgage is not suitable for everyone. You must consider all aspects when making this decision. The monthly payment on your mortgage will probably increase because when you refinance from a 30 to a 15 year mortgage you will be compressing the repayment schedule which will decrease your overall monthly budget.

It is paramount to think about the impact a higher mortgage payment will affect your ability to pay current and unforeseen changes in your income, like the loss of a job or financial emergencies that may arise.
