If you’re considering a refinance, your first thought should be about home values! Many times a refinance is makes sense following a high loan-to-value purchase loan such as an 80/20 or financing with mortgage insurance. In both cases, the home’s current value–as determined by an appraisal–is the biggest hurdle in the road to a new low–interest mortgage loan.

So how do you know what your home is worth? The easiest way is to ask your Realtor! If you’re in The Woodlands, check out this 2009 market report for a head start:
