It's easy enough to figure out if the cost of refinancing would be worth it...

Shop around for new mortgages. Find out what kind of rates you'll be offered and what the monthly payments will be.

Calculate how much you'll save on the payments vs. your current loan over the life of the mortgage. Ignoring the time value of money, that savings amount should, at the very least, be substantially higher than the amount it'll cost you to close on the new loan.

An even simpler way is just to figure out how much you'll pay in total for the remainder of your current loan vs. how much you'll pay (including closing costs, etc.) over the life of the new one. If new is lower than old by a large enough amount for it to be worth your time, go ahead and do it. If not, either don't do it or keep shopping for a better rate.

When a propety does not sell, it's always that the asking price is too high. What we have been doing with good results is three key points in San Francisco, California.
1) list homes slightly under the selling price range.
2) have a date to consider offers or a bid date
3) have all the disclosures available including termite and home inspection reports

What you are creating is a multiple offer situations. When a seller gets 3 - 5 offers on the table they will realize that this is the best offers for the current market. What I also do is when I get the multiple offers, I will counter back all the offers and let the buyers improve their offers to be competitive with the other buyers that are biding for the property.

The sellers are sometime concern that a property may not sell for above the asking price what options do they have. The seller is not obligated to sell the property unless they sign the purchase contract, however they might be obligated to pay a brokerage commission to the listing agent unless they include in the listing agreement that the seller is not obligated to pay a brokerage commission unless the subject property sells and closes escrow.

    • For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...  
    • Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!
    • Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?
    • Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }
    • Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
