When Does Refinancing Make Sense in New Jersey?

Refinancing in New Jersey involves paying closing costs of approximately 2.2% of your loan balance to obtain a lower interest rate. The general rule: if you can lower your rate by at least 0.75–1%, refinancing is worth exploring. With New Jersey's current average rate of 6.79%, the savings depend heavily on how far rates drop from your existing loan.
