How do El Paso property taxes affect my refinance payment?
Property taxes in El Paso County average 2.16% of home value annually. When you refinance, your escrow payment recalculates based on the current assessed value and tax rate — which may differ from your original purchase year.
Should I refinance now given current rates in 2026?
Whether refinancing makes sense depends on your current rate, remaining loan balance, how long you plan to stay in the home, and closing costs. As of May 2026, the Freddie Mac PMMS 30-year average is approximately 6.37%. A general rule: refinancing may be worth it if you can reduce your rate by at least 0.5–0.75% and recoup closing costs before you sell or move.
