About our Mortgage Rate Tables: The above mortgage loan information is provided to, or obtained by, Bankrate. Some lenders provide their mortgage loan terms to Bankrate for advertising purposes and Bankrate receives compensation from those advertisers (our "Advertisers"). Other lenders' terms are gathered by Bankrate through its own research of available mortgage loan terms and that information is displayed in our rate table for applicable criteria. In the above table, an Advertiser listing can be identified and distinguished from other listings because it includes a "Next" button that can be used to click-through to the Advertiser's own website or a phone number for the Advertiser.
Availability of Advertised Terms: Each Advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its own advertised terms. Bankrate cannot guaranty the accuracy or availability of any loan term shown above. However, Bankrate attempts to verify the accuracy and availability of the advertised terms through its quality assurance process and requires Advertisers to agree to our Terms and Conditions and to adhere to our Quality Control Program.

Loan Terms for Bankrate.com Customers: Advertisers may have different loan terms on their own website from those advertised through Bankrate.com. To receive the Bankrate.com rate, you must identify yourself to the Advertiser as a Bankrate.com customer. This will typically be done by phone so you should look for the Advertisers phone number when you click-through to their website. In addition, credit unions may require membership.
Loans Above $548,250 May Have Different Loan Terms: If you are seeking a loan for more than $548,250, lenders in certain locations may be able to provide terms that are different from those shown in the table above. You should confirm your terms with the lender for your requested loan amount.
Taxes and Insurance Excluded from Loan Terms: The loan terms (APR and Payment examples) shown above do not include amounts for taxes or insurance premiums. Your monthly payment amount will be greater if taxes and insurance premiums are included.
Consumer Satisfaction: If you have used Bankrate.com and have not received the advertised loan terms or otherwise been dissatisfied with your experience with any Advertiser, we want to hear from you. Please click here to provide your comments to Bankrate Quality Control.
Current ARM refinance rates
Refinance rates change all the time, driven by factors like the economy, Treasury bond rates and demand. Lenders nationwide provide weekday mortgage rates to our comprehensive national survey of the most current rates available. The interest rate table below is updated daily. Use these as a guide to what's available, but keep in mind your rate may vary depending on your qualifications and the lender you choose.
What is an adjustable-rate mortgage refinance loan?
In contrast to a fixed-rate loan, which is a more common mortgage offering, the interest rate on an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) changes over time. For a 7/1 ARM, for instance, the introductory rate stays the same for seven years. Then the rate can adjust annually. The standard terms allow the rate on an ARM to rise as much as 2 percentage points at a time. As the interest rate changes, so will your monthly payment.
Should I get a fixed-rate refinance loan or an ARM refinance loan?
ARMs are a smart choice when mortgage rates are high and expected to drop, but in the current turbulent rate environment, they’re not the best choice for most borrowers. They can make sense if you’re planning to move or refinance before the adjustments begin, however.

ARM refinance pros and cons
As with most financial products, ARMs have their benefits and drawbacks. Here are the key things to know:
Pros:
- It has lower rates and payments early in the loan term
- Borrowers may be able to qualify for a larger mortgage thanks to lower initial payments
- Borrowers may be able to invest their monthly savings
- It offers a cheaper way for borrowers who don’t plan on living in one place for very long to buy a house
Cons:
- Rates and payments can rise significantly over the life of the loan
- Some annual caps don’t apply to the initial loan adjustment, making it difficult to swallow that first reset
- These loans are more complex, so borrowers need to be more active and savvy in managing their accounts
