Refinancing doesn't reduce your debt, it just restructures it, so be clear about what you want to achieve with a refi.

For those of you in the refi camp, rates are low and prices are high so you should have more home equity, which helps.
“The refi boom won’t continue indefinitely, though, and we’re already seeing some softening in refi volume even as consumer appetite for purchase loans sharpened in Q3.”
