How Long Does A Refinance Take?

March 9, 2022 by Sean Young

How Long Does A Refinance Take?If you want to save money on your mortgage, refinancing your house could be a great move. As long as you have plenty of equity and a great credit score, you should be able to qualify for the refinance process. At the same time, you might be wondering, how long will it take you to refinance your house? There are several factors to keep in mind, so be sure to work with a professional who can walk you through the process.

It Usually Takes A Month Or Two

In general, refinancing your home loan will take a month or two. Most refinances will be completed in 30 to 45 days, but every lender is different. It depends on how complicated your mortgage is, the other refinancing applications the lender is processing, and the number of staff they have on hand. If you are in a hurry to refinance your mortgage, you may want to talk with the lender to see how quickly they can process your paperwork.

The Lender Has Several Tasks To Complete

There are several tasks the lender will need to complete before he or she can approve your refinance application. First, the lender needs to make sure you have enough equity in your home to complete a refinance. Then, the lender will also check your credit score to make sure it is high enough to qualify. The loan officer will also make sure your mortgage is not behind. Similar to the original mortgage application, the lender will also have to complete inspections and appraisals before your refinance can be approved. All of these tasks take time, which is why you should anticipate spending a month or two refinancing your home. 

Work With A Professional

Every lender is a bit different, so be sure to talk to the lender ahead of time to understand how long the process takes. If you have a deadline you need to meet, starting the process earlier is usually better. That way, you leave yourself time to address any hurdles that may develop along the way. Refinancing your home loan is a great way to draw cash from the equity in your home, lower the interest rate on your mortgage, and save money.
