Refinance Rate FAQs
What are today's refinance mortgage rates?
Today's refinance rates start at 5.5% for a 30-year conventional loan. VA streamline refinances are at 5.25%, and FHA streamlines at 5.25%. Rates update regularly—check the table above for the latest.
When should I refinance my mortgage?
The general rule is to refinance when you can lower your rate by at least 0.5-0.75%. However, also consider how long you plan to stay in the home, your break-even point on closing costs, and whether you want to tap equity or change your loan term. Use our calculator above to see your potential savings.
How much does it cost to refinance?
Closing costs typically run 2-5% of the loan amount ($6,000-$15,000 on a $300,000 loan). These include appraisal, title insurance, origination fees, and recording fees. Many lenders offer "no-cost" refinances by rolling costs into the rate or loan balance.
Can I refinance with bad credit?
Yes, but your options vary by credit score. FHA streamline refinances have no credit score minimum for existing FHA loans. For conventional loans, you generally need 620+. With scores below 620, consider FHA or VA (if eligible) refinancing, which have more flexible requirements.
How long does a refinance take?
A typical refinance takes 30-45 days from application to closing. Streamline refinances (VA IRRRL, FHA Streamline) can close in as little as 15-20 days because they require less documentation and often no appraisal.
What's the difference between rate-and-term vs. cash-out refinance?
Rate-and-term refinancing changes your interest rate, loan term, or both—without taking equity out. Cash-out refinancing lets you borrow more than you owe and pocket the difference (e.g., for home improvements or debt consolidation). Cash-out typically has slightly higher rates.
