Seniority Tax Can Raise Refinance Costs | I'm Bridgette Levine and I Buy and Sell properties in the State of Texas!
I’ve seen firsthand how refinancing can be a smart move, but it’s important to know what’s beneath the surface—especially for my clients aged 55 and up. A recent watchdog report found that about 80% of US refinance applicants in this age group paid higher-than-market rates, amounting to roughly $2,400 more per year than younger borrowers. Over an average 8-year period, that adds up to nearly $19,000, and if you’re resetting into a new 30-year term, it could mean over $52,000 in extra lifetime costs. With today’s slower housing market, lenders have relied more on refinancing revenue, often targeting older homeowners with strong equity for cash-out options. For those on fixed incomes, that extra interest can quickly eat into retirement funds or reduce the equity you hoped to leave to loved ones. I always encourage comparing offers from at least three lenders and being extra careful about who’s reaching out. Refinancing can be beneficial—whether it’s lowering your monthly costs or making room for needed updates—but as with every big move, knowledge and careful planning make all the difference.

More Renters Enjoy Stability and Choose to Stay
It’s remarkable to see how moving patterns have shifted over the years. Since the 1980s, fewer Americans are making a move, and the numbers show a significant dip for renters in particular: three-year mobility dropped from 57% in 2014 to just 37% by 2026. While the dream of homeownership is still strong, mortgage affordability challenges are keeping many renters in place, lowering their expectations of buying—and, as a result, moving. As someone who’s guided families through every stage of transition for over 20 years, I see how important it is to understand these trends and what they mean for your next chapter. Every move is more than just a change of address—it’s a new beginning, and it pays to have an advocate who knows how to navigate the shifting landscape.
