What refinancing could save in Agoura Hills

Agoura Hills owners with a mortgage pay a median $4,001 a month for their mortgage, taxes, insurance and utilities, about 22.9% of their household income.

Say you owe $659,000, about 60% of the median home value here, on a 30-year loan at 8.11%. Refinancing into a new 30-year loan at this week's average of 7.11% would cut principal and interest from $4,886 to $4,433, saving about $453 a month.

Closing costs often run 2% to 5% of the loan. At 3%, about $19,800, the savings would cover the costs in about 44 months, so refinancing pays off if you keep the home longer than that.

A 15-year loan at 6.45% would raise the payment to $5,722, but you'd pay $565,880 less interest than on the new 30-year loan.

The average 30-year rate is 0.87 percentage points higher than a year ago, when it was 6.24%.
