Found a New Home Before Selling Your Current One?
How Recasting Works
You can put just 5% down on a conventional loan, and after you sell your current home, you can put the lump-sum amount towards the principal. Our Experts can then recalculate the loan based on the new lower balance, using the same interest rate and time remaining from the original mortgage.
Advantages
The interest rate and terms remain the same, but because your principal has decreased, your monthly payments will lower, and you can save on interest paid over the life of the loan.
