We want this to be a “win-win” situation and only want to get paid if we bring you value in the form of finding a personal finance option that works for you, not by selling your data to multiple lenders. Generally, our lenders pay us at the time of receiving your loan application and incorporate the cost of our services as part of the final interest rate on your loan, or in your loan amount. Although we are paid at the time of your application transmission, you only pay this cost if your loan closes. This fee is non-refundable to lenders after they receive your application. This is common practice in mortgage transactions where lenders pay brokers for performing certain services in connection with your loan. If you would prefer to minimize your rate, you may opt to buy "points" to decrease your rate. If you choose to buy points, you would pay this amount to your lender and your final interest rate on your loan or your loan amount would reflect the combined fees of points you purchased and the fee your lender paid us upon receipt of your application.

Refinance rates by loan term
Home refinance rates rise and fall on a daily basis with changing economic conditions, central bank policy decisions, and investor sentiment. The table below shows recent trends in home refinance rates.
| Product | Interest rate | APR | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
General Information and Rate Disclosures: The listings that appear on this page are from companies that pay Credible compensation. This table does not include all companies or all available products. Displayed information is valid as of Dec 12, 2024 and assumes a customer with a 750 credit score borrowing a conventional loan for a single-family, primary residence, at or near zero discount points, and a 80% loan-to-home-value ratio. For products indicated as a jumbo (e.g. 30-year fixed jumbo rate), displayed information follows the same assumptions as a conventional loan but set at loan above the conforming limit. Here is an example of your payment based on a $400,000 loan amount, for each advertised loan term:
*Payments do not include amounts for taxes and insurance premiums, your actual payment obligation will be greater. The IP address of the customer accessing this page has been used to determine which U.S state should be used for pricing. In states where Credible does not have a license to operate, we are providing information about rates available in a nearby state. If you are viewing this page from an IP address in one of the states where Credible is not licensed, the rates displayed above are for consumers located in the neighbouring state shown below: IP state without license - Assumed location Missouri - Kansas Hawaii - California Rates, payments, and all information displayed are for informational purposes only and are subject to change without notice. This is not a credit decision or commitment to lend. Mortgage rates and terms you may qualify for depend on your individual financial circumstances. Payment Disclosures: All monthly payment amounts above assume on time monthly payments each month for the full duration of the loan term (e.g. 360 monthly payments for a 30 year loan). Displayed monthly payment amounts do not include amounts for property taxes and hazard insurance. Your actual monthly payment obligation will be higher. Amounts for borrower-paid mortgage insurance premiums are included in the monthly payment if (1) the loan amount is below the “conforming thresholds” set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and (2) the loan-to-home-value ratio is greater than 80%; mortgage insurance premiums are excluded from the monthly payment if either the loan amount is above the conforming thresholds or the loan-to-home-value ratio is less than or equal to 80%. Your actual payment obligation may be higher. “Conforming thresholds” depend on the county where the property is located. Fees Disclosures: The fee amounts shown above include estimates of loan costs and closing costs you may pay in connection with a mortgage transaction with the assumptions above. This includes fees the lender charges, including points and underwriting fees, and third party services the lender does not let you shop for such as a flood certification fee. It does not include title charges, recording costs, prepaids, initial escrow deposit, and other fees. ARM Disclosures: Variable rate products, such as ARMs, have interest rates that can change over the life of the loan. Changes in the interest rate will cause required payment amounts to change.” The displayed rate and payment will be in effect for the number of years in the product’s description (e.g. 5/1 ARM means the initial rate and payment are in effect for 5 years, 7/1 means they are in effect for 7 years, etc.), after which the rate and monthly payment will change every 12 months. Last updated on Dec 12, 2024. These rates are based on the assumptions shown here. Actual rates may vary. | ||||||

- Market conditions: Are interest rates rising in general? If so, cash-out refi rates are likely to rise as well.
- 10-year Treasury yields: Mortgage rates tend to reflect investor yields on these Treasury notes, plus an additional spread.
- A bank’s individual level of capital: How much a bank has available to lend will help determine how much it will charge you to borrow.
- The type of property, such as single-family, multi-family, condo, or vacation home
- Location of the property
- Your loan-to-value ratio, or how much cash you request compared to the equity you have in the home
- Keep the loan-to-value ratio (LTV) low: Don’t borrow more than you need. Lenders usually cap a cash-out refinance at 80% of the home’s value, meaning you need at least 20% equity remaining after the loan closes.
- Refinance your primary home: For homeowners juggling multiple properties, you’ll often get a better rate on a refinance for your primary home than you will for a second home or vacation property.
- Consider an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM): These mortgages have an interest rate that will change periodically, and sometimes offer a low introductory rate that can save you money in the short term.
- Work on improving your credit score: Making timely payments and paying down your debt can boost your score, which could help you nab a lower interest rate.
- Pay discount points: These upfront fees let you buy a lower interest rate on your refinance.
