Home Buying

A Home Buying guide, with links, news, and comments

Dear Liz: When does it make sense to refinance a home? I have a 30-year, fixed-rate jumbo loan. The loan is just over 2 years old with a rate of 6.5%. Should I refinance to 5.75% with zero points? I make extra payments every month with the intention of paying the loan off in 15 years, but I don't want to be locked into a 15-year rate in case I have some difficult times.
