For example, if you\u2019re refinancing a $150,000 mortgage, you might pay between $3,000 and $9,000 in closing costs. Here\u2019s a breakdown of common closing costs:<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-full overflow-x-auto\">\n<table class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes has-fixed-layout wrapped\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Closing costs<\/th>\n<th>Fee<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Application fee<\/td>\n<td>Up to $500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Origination and\/or underwriting fee<\/td>\n<td>$300 \u2013 $500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Recording fee<\/td>\n<td>$20 \u2013 $250, depending on location<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Appraisal fee<\/td>\n<td>$300 \u2013 $500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Credit check fee<\/td>\n<td>Typically less than $30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Title services<\/td>\n<td>$300 \u2013 $2,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Survey fee<\/td>\n<td>$2,300 on average<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Attorney\/settlement fee<\/td>\n<td>$500 \u2013 $1,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Along with closing costs, refinancing means you\u2019ll begin paying a new mortgage with a new interest rate. This rate depends on many variables, including your:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<strong>Credit score<\/strong>: If you have good or excellent credit, you\u2019ll generally receive a better interest rate.<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Lender<\/strong>: Lenders have different approaches to pricing loans and underwriting, which influence your rate.<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Type of refinance<\/strong>: You\u2019ll typically pay a higher rate on a cash-out refinance than you will on a standard refinance, where you\u2019re simply changing the interest rate and the loan term.<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Loan size and term<\/strong>: The smaller your loan and the shorter the term, the better your rate will be, in general.<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Property type<\/strong>: If you\u2019re refinancing a primary residence, you\u2019ll typically receive a lower rate than you would if refinancing an investment property.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"government-backed\" data-position=\"2\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-2-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"How much does it cost to refinance government-backed loans?\" data-outcome=\"\">How much does it cost to refinance government-backed loans?<\/h2>\n<p>Government-backed loans \u2014 including FHA, VA and USDA loans \u2014 all offer \u201cstreamline\u201d refinance options for qualifying borrowers that may cost less than a typical refinance. Streamline refinances have fewer hoops to jump through. For example, you may not need a credit check or an appraisal.<\/p>\n<p>To qualify for this option, you can\u2019t use the refinance to pull cash out of your home\u2019s equity.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, government-backed loans come with their own fees. For instance, VA loans require you to pay a funding fee when you refinance, and FHA loans may require you to pay mortgage insurance premiums (MIP).<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to\" data-position=\"3\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-3-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"How to lower the cost to refinance\" data-outcome=\"\">How to lower the cost to refinance<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re refinancing to lower your monthly payment, paying less to refinance helps you realize those savings more quickly. There are a number of ways to reduce your refinance costs:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Boost your credit score<\/h3>\n<p>Just as first mortgages have credit score requirements, you\u2019ll need to meet credit score minimums to refinance, too.<\/p>\n<p>The better your credit, the lower your refinance rate. You can boost your credit by paying off debt, among other strategies.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Compare mortgage offers and rates<\/h3>\n<p>To score the best possible rate, compare several mortgage refinance lenders.<\/p>\n<p>To get a fuller sense of the loan\u2019s cost, look at the annual percentage rate (APR), which includes interest and fees. A mortgage broker may help you get a wider range of quotes. Always get a quote from your existing lender, too \u2014 you might qualify for a lower-cost refinance or other repeat customer benefits.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Negotiate closing costs<\/h3>\n<p>As with your first mortgage, look closely at the loan estimate from your lender. You might save money by negotiating closing costs, especially if you\u2019ve shopped around and have more than one refinance offer. You can use other quotes to check for unusually high fees as well.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Ask for fee waivers<\/h3>\n<p>Ask your bank or lender if it will waive or lower the application fee or credit check fee \u2014 especially if you\u2019re an existing customer. <\/p>\n<p>You may also be able to forgo a new home appraisal or property survey if you\u2019ve recently had one done.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Choose your original title insurer<\/h3>\n<p>In many states, title rates are regulated, but it may cost less for your title insurance company to reissue your policy for your refinanced loan than it would to start over with a new company or policy.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Consider a no-closing-cost refinance<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re low on cash, consider a no-closing-cost refinance. The name is a bit deceiving, as this refinance isn\u2019t free of closing costs; you simply won\u2019t pay the fees at closing.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the lender will either raise your interest rate or fold the closing costs into the new loan. Keep in mind, this means that you\u2019ll likely wind up paying more in the long run, and it\u2019ll take longer to hit your break-even point.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"break-even\" data-position=\"4\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-4-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"How to calculate your break-even point\" data-outcome=\"\">How to calculate your break-even point<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re refinancing to lower your monthly payment, it\u2019s essential to figure out your break-even point \u2014 that is, the point at which your savings outweigh your closing costs.<\/p>\n<p>Say your new, lower rate will decrease your monthly payment by $100 every month and refinancing costs you $3,000. Divide your refinance cost by the monthly savings to get your break-even timeframe. In this example, it will take 30 months \u2014 or 2.5 years \u2014 before you realize the savings. If you don\u2019t plan to sell or refinance in that time, it could be worth it to refinance now.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"faq\" data-position=\"5\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-5-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"FAQ\" data-outcome=\"\">FAQ<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"Accordion w-full align\">\n<li x-id=\"['panel-accordion-item-0', 'heading-accordion-item-0']\" x-data=\"{ expanded: 0 }\" class=\"Accordion-item\">\n<button class=\"Accordion-titleContainer py-4 px-3 sm:px-6 group sm:py-6\" type=\"button\" :id=\"$id('heading-accordion-item-0')\" :aria-controls=\"$id('panel-accordion-item-0')\" :aria-expanded=\"expanded ? true : false\" x-on:click=\"expanded = !expanded\" :data-outcome=\"expanded ?
