Refinancing your mortgage can save you substantial amounts of money ... but it costs money up front. The easiest way to determine if refinancing makes sense for you is to calculate the closing costs of the refinance loan, and how long it will take to "break even" on those costs with the lower monthly payments you receive with the refinancing.
If you will live in the house longer than this break-even point, refinancing could be a good option. First State Bank has been working closely with our community's homeowners since 1948. We can help you calculate this break-even point and assess the best strategy for you as you continue your homeownership.

When you’re building a home instead of purchasing an existing property, your loan takes on new circumstances. First State Bank has a team of local experts to help you finance your construction project from start to finish, then discuss your options for moving into permanent mortgage financing with a lower fixed rate.
