Refinancing is Not a Catch All Solution

Many people consider home refinance only when they are struggling financially. The reason that many people consider refinancing during this time is because this process is known to save homeowners money. While refinancing is a great way to save money, it is not something that will continue to save you more money each time you do it. In fact, there are costs that are associated with refinancing and in many instances refinancing is something that pays for itself over a period of three to five years, so your savings with this is not always immediate when you factor in the costs of home refinance.

How many times can you refinance? There is truly no limit, but if you are a habitual user of these programs, you will find that many lenders are no longer interested in loaning you money. The reason for this is that repeatedly refinancing is like financing a car, and then two years later trading it in and refinancing another and then another. Eventually you may owe $50,000 on a car that is actually only worth $7,000. This is often referred to as being upside down on a loan and it means that you owe more on something than it is worth. Even though you are trying to save money through home refinance, because there are costs associated with it, you can end up owing more money through the process than you save.

This being said, there are cases out there where many people have refinanced twice. This is usually something that is done by someone who owns their home for a long period of time, for instance 20 years. With rate changes being considerable over the last 20 years, it may be possible to benefit from refinancing twice during the ownership of a home, but this is not at all the norm. Most people consider refinancing once during their home ownership adequate because hopefully the second time around they decided on a loan program that would fit their needs long term.

Home refinance is not a catch-all that will solve all of your problems. The fact of the matter is that you can end up in more financial trouble when you continue to refinance than if you never refinanced at all. Don’t take the process of home refinance lightly; instead you need to carefully weigh your options as well as the pros and cons of the options before you decide to actually go through with anything. Try not to rush into anything, and if you need help, ask a third party for some advice. Remember not to be pressured into refinancing or not; this is something that you need to consider carefully before you decide to go for it.

Understanding the Pitfalls of Home Refinance

Many people get caught up in the idea of saving money when they are going through the process of or considering home refinance. They forget that they need to slow down and look at everything carefully and consider the front- and back-end expenses and specifics of the new loan. There are countless people out there that find that refinancing actually ends up costing them more money than they saved. You do not want to be one of these people, so make sure that you go about refinancing with care.

One of the biggest risks or pitfalls associated with home refinance is the fees that are associated with them. Not only do you have closing costs that are associated with the new loan, you may actually have to pay a pre-payment penalty on your first mortgage loan. This can be a small sum or it can be in the thousands of dollars, depending on the way your original home loan was set up. This is something that you should absolutely look into because if you have a pre-payment penalty, it can do away with all of the benefits of refinancing with one fell swoop.

Another of the risks associated with refinancing is the instability of some loans that are out there. For instance, if you refinance and you choose to go with an adjustable-rate loan you have taken on a new risk of an increasing or fluctuating interest rate. A lot of people do just fine with these loans, but other people do not and they end up losing their home after they have gone through steps to save money. These loans can be very appealing because the interest rate starts out so small but then it grows and grows. Make sure that you understand how the loan will change in the future, if at all, so you are sure that the new loan is something that you will be able to maintain in the future.

Something that a lot of people suffer from when it comes to home refinance is the fees that are associated with a new loan. Many people don’t realize that there are closing costs that are associated with the new loan, just like there was with the original home loan. This home refinance loan will have the same costs associated with it, and perhaps some others, and you need to be prepared for this. These costs can run in the thousands of dollars and can make the difference between being able to afford the process of refinancing and not being able to afford it. You also need to determine if the savings of refinancing justify the costs that you will occur as a result of the whole process. This is something that you will need to consider carefully to guard yourself from the pitfalls of refinance as well as possible.

The cost of an average home fell by 2 percent in June, data from HBOS, the country’s largest mortgage lender, showed on Thursday. Prices were 8.7 percent lower on the year, a bigger fall than at any time during the 1990s crash.

“It is fair to say we are now in the worst housing slide for over 50 years,” said Michael Saunders, economist at Citigroup.

Barratt Developments , one of the country’s best-known homebuilders, said it was going to lay off 1,200 people — a fifth of its workforce — because of the housing downturn. Nor would it pay a final dividend for 2007-08.

That took the total number of job cuts announced by homebuilders in the last week to around 4,000 as Persimmon , Taylor Wimpey , Bovis Homes and Redrow have all been warning of a sharp turnaround in business.

Austria’s Wienerberger , the largest brickmaker in the world, reported on Thursday a 10 percent drop in its core earnings for the first six months of the year, because of a collapse in homebuilding.

“The spread of the financial crisis to Great Britain triggered a slump in new residential construction beginning in April,” said Wienerberger.

SLUMP COULD GET WORSE

Hit by the global credit crunch, lenders have toughened up borrowing conditions, demanding as much as 25 percent of a home’s value as a deposit before making any new loans — until relatively recently 100 percent loans were commonplace.

Mortgage approvals have consequently collapsed, pointing to even sharper falls in house prices in the months ahead. Rising inflation, meanwhile, is preventing the central bank from offering any succour.

The Bank of England held interest rates at 5 percent on Thursday and analysts say it could be quite a while before they come down — experts are predicting a protracted and painful housing downturn.

Housebuilders could remain under pressure for a while and vulture funds are already circling them as their debt and equity prices fall.

With property market values sinking, housebuilders have been forced to write down the value of their land holdings. Barratt said it would cut it by around 85 million pounds.

Wienerberger Chief Executive Wolfgang Reithofer, meanwhile, said the company would close around 25 smaller plants in Europe.

He declined to give details, but added closures were most likely in weak markets such as Britain and Germany.

A third of car drivers are likely to be better off.

Official figures predict that 8.7 million vehicles will see tax increased in 2009-10 – all in the six most-polluting bands.

Exchequer Secretary Angela Eagle said five of the UK’s 30 most popular cars would pay more under the changes.

They include the 2.2l diesel Land Rover Freelander, the 1.6l unleaded Toyota Auris, the 2.2l diesel Honda CR-V, the 1.8l unleaded Vauxhall Vectra and the 1.6l unleaded Vauxhall Zafira.

Ms Eagle gave the figures in a Commons written answer to shadow Treasury minister Justine Greening.

She said: “As a result of the Vehicle Excise Duty reforms announced at Budget 2008, in 2009-10, it is estimated that within the 13 new bands, a third of cars will be better off in real terms, and in total, approximately 55% of cars will be no worse off.”

The controversial changes to VED were unveiled by Chancellor Alastair Darling in his first Budget, doubling the tax on some family saloons to £455.

They attracted criticism from all sides, with 50 Labour rebels signing a Commons motion branding the changes “retrospective” because they will apply to all cars registered since March 2001.

Sheila Rainger, head of campaigns for the RAC, told Sky News the changes don’t seem to be about reducing pollution.

“If this was about going green then we would have higher charges for larger vehicles and smaller chages for less polluting cars.

“There is a problem with these changes, it applies to everyone who has bought a car since 2001, so how can that be about influencing future purchasing?

“You have already bought the car and you are going to get hammered by the Chancellor for having something you chose on the best information available seven or eight years ago.

“It is a really serious problem – what we want is people to buy news cars, they are always cleaner regardless of the engine size because of the technology, but now people are going to get stuck with more polluting cars so the opposite of the green plan is going to happen.”

Shadow Chancellor George Osborne accused Prime Minister Gordon Brown of seeming to mislead Parliament over the figures.

Treasury officials said “nothing new” had been revealed by the figures.
