REFINANCING A MORTGAGE. USE WOR
SHEET 5.4. Lily Nguyen purchased a condominium four years ago for $200,000, paying $1,250 per month on her $162,000, 8 percent, 25-year mortgage. The current loan balance is $152,401. Recently, interest rates dropped sharply, causing Lily to consider refinancing her condo at the prevailing rate of 6 percent. She expects to remain in the condo for at least four more years and has found a lender that will make a 6 percent, 21-year, $152,401 loan, requiring monthly payments of $1,065. Although there is no prepayment penalty on her current mortgage, Lily will have to pay $1,500 in closing costs on the new mortgage. She is in the 15 percent tax bracket. Based on this information, use the mortgage refinancing analysis form in Worksheet 5.4 to determine whether Lily should refinance her mortgage under the specified terms.

You bought your house five years ago and you believe you will be in the house only about five more years before it gets too small for your family. Your original home value when you bought it was $500,000, you paid 10 percent down, and you financed closing costs equal to 3 percent of the mortgage amount. The mortgage was a 25-year fixed-rate mortgage with a 5 percent annual interest rate. Rates on 30-year mortgages are now at 3 percent. Your total refinancing costs will be 3 percent of the new mortgage amount. A new down payment is not required. Should you refinance?

Erin borrowed $200,000 fixed-rate 30-yr mortgage when mortgage rate was 4.5%. How much total interest will she pay if she does not pay off the mortgage earlier? She heard that some house buyers choose to make one extra monthly payment each year so as to pay off their mortgage earlier and therefore reduce the interest payment. Erin decided to do so too. Each year, she will split the extra payment to 12 month so that she pays $1098 per month all the way until paying off the mortgage. Doing so will pay off her mortgage within 307 months instead of 30 years. How much interest will she save?
