1. refinance

   Refinancing is the replacement of an existing debt obligation with another debt obligation under a different term and interest rate. The terms and conditions of refinancing may vary widely by country, province, or state, based on several economic factors such as inherent risk, projected risk, political stability of a nation, currency stability, banking regulations, borrower's credit worthiness, and credit rating of a nation. In many industrialized nations, common forms of refinancing include primary residence mortgages and car loans. If the replacement of debt occurs under financial distress, refinancing might be referred to as debt restructuring.

1. refinance

   Refinancing refers to the process of replacing an existing loan or debt with a new one under different terms and conditions. Typically, this is done to take advantage of lower interest rates, reduce monthly payments, alter the loan term, switch from adjustable-rate to fixed-rate (or vice versa), or to consolidate various debts into one. Refinancing is commonly used in context of home mortgages, but it can apply to any type of debt.

Examples of REFINANCE in a Sentence

1. Bjarni Torfason:

   As we go into the second half of the year there is [a] strong incentive to try and refinance if possible because after December 24 it will require complying with risk retention, which is costly, if it is possible to do an economical refinancing before that comes into play then that would be preferable.

2. Joel Kan:

   Refinance demand continues to dwindle, as many borrowers refinanced in 2020, and in early 2021, when mortgage rates were around 40 basis points lower.

3. Bjarni Torfason:

   As we go into the second half of the year there is strong incentive to try and refinance if possible because after December 24 it will require complying with risk retention, which is costly, if it is possible to do an economical refinancing before that comes into play then that would be preferable.

4. Mike Fratantoni:

   Whether you pay it up front or over the life of a loan, you'll pay it, and it may make the difference of whether it is worth it to refinance or not for many people.

5. Sheila Bair:

   And let's be honest about it. Hybrid ARMs were never made based on the assumption that the borrowers would be able to make the payment once the loan reset. They were designed as two or three year "bullets" ... with the assumption that home appreciation would allow the borrower to refinance at, or before, reset. Given current conditions in the housing market, this business model is no longer viable, which should come as no shock to anyone.
