What refinancing could save in Vienna

Vienna owners with a mortgage pay a median $4,001 a month for their mortgage, taxes, insurance and utilities, about 20.7% of their household income.

Say you owe $605,000, 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 $4,486 to $4,070, saving about $416 a month.

Closing costs often run 2% to 5% of the loan. At 3%, about $18,200, 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 $5,254, but you'd pay $519,509 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%.

Refinancing a $605,000 balance
Current loan at 8.11%, 30 years$4,486
New 30-year loan at 7.11%$4,070
New 15-year loan at 6.45%$5,254
Monthly savings with the new 30-year loan$416

Principal and interest only; taxes and insurance stay the same.
