What Is a Rate and Term Refinance?

A rate-and-term refinance replaces your current mortgage with a new one to improve the terms of your loan. Most homeowners refinance to lower their interest rate, reduce their monthly payment, switch from an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate loan, or pay off their mortgage faster.

Common Reasons to Refinance

  • Lower your interest rate

  • Reduce your monthly payment

  • Switch from an ARM to a fixed-rate mortgage

  • Pay off your home faster

  • Remove mortgage insurance in some cases

  • Improve the overall structure of your loan

Looking to Cash Out Equity Instead?

If your goal is to pull cash out for home improvements, debt consolidation, or other large expenses, a cash-out refinance may be a better fit than a rate-and-term refinance. You can explore that option here.

Refinance FAQs

It depends on your current rate, loan balance, and goals. If refinancing can lower your payment or improve your loan terms, it may make sense.

A rate-and-term refinance replaces your current mortgage with a new one to improve the interest rate, monthly payment, loan term, or loan type.

Most refinances close in about 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the loan and how quickly documents are provided.

Not always. Some refinance programs allow an appraisal waiver depending on the property and loan details.

A refinance may cause a small temporary dip in your score, but the long-term impact depends on how the new loan improves your finances.

Sometimes yes, but not always. If your current rate is already low, we can help you decide whether refinancing still makes sense or if another option may be better.
