Refinancing w/ a First-Time Home Buyer Loan...is it worth it?

I believe that if I refinance our home, we would have to "pay" the first time homeowners grant back. It's something like $7k for 15yrs (starts to go down at year 10). Here's some info:

Loan: 189,1k

Rate: 4.75%

Term: 30yr

Type: Conventional

Year purchased: 2017

First time homeowners grant: $5.6k (180mo loan)

Monthly: $1475 with PMI, Escrow; $987 principal & interest

Location: Charlotte Area, NC

I've briefly looked into refinancing already with couple of companies but backed out because I have no clue if it's worth going through. I know I can very likely get a rate under 3.75% but wanted to know if anyone else has done this before?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
