Refinance Analysis Sample

Refinance Analysis samples use the same result layout as live analyses. The numbers are examples for 1777 Beach Park Blvd, Foster City, CA 94404.

  • Compare the monthly payment change to the break-even period. A lower payment only helps if you keep the loan long enough.
  • Watch financed closing costs. Rolling fees into the loan can make cash due smaller while increasing balance.
  • Use the planned-stay net benefit as the main decision metric, then verify lender quotes.

What changes the answer

Stay period

Longer stays give monthly savings more time to offset costs.

Closing costs

Higher closing costs delay break-even and weaken the refi case.

New rate

Small rate changes can materially change the verdict.

Extra principal

Extra principal can speed payoff but changes cash-flow comparison.

Decision checklist

1

Quote details

Lender fees, APR, rate lock, and loan costs should match the Loan Estimate.

2

Lender comparison

Competing refinance offers can show whether the proposed terms are market-competitive.

3

Timeline sensitivity

Shorter and longer stay periods can materially change the result.

4

Lock readiness

The strongest case exists when the result still works after quote verification.
