Depending on when you purchase your home, you may notice that interest rates go up or go down in the months or years after you secure your mortgage. Additionally, you may find that your credit score changes — perhaps it goes up based on smart financial decisions you’ve made around your debt.

A refinance is essentially getting a new mortgage to replace the one you currently have. Read on for information on when refinancing your mortgage may benefit you.
