The Ostrow household is considering a refinance of their 400,000 mortgage. Closing costs are8,000 and the monthly payment would decrease by $250. The Ostrows plan to move in 24 months.

What is the correct recommendation?

  1. Refinance only if they can roll the closing costs into the loan balance.
  2. Refinance; the 250 monthly savings is a significant budget improvement.
  3. Refinance and apply the 250 savings to principal each month.
  4. Do not refinance; the breakeven period exceeds the expected tenure.
