Refinancing your mortgage could help you lower your monthly payment, build equity faster, or put your home’s equity to work — helping you move forward with greater confidence

A refinance built around your goals

Refinancing replaces your current mortgage with a new loan designed to better fit where you are today. We’ll help you compare options clearly so you can move forward with confidence.

Refinance into a Fixed-Rate Mortgage

Lock in a steady interest rate and predictable monthly payments, so you can plan with greater confidence.

Refinance into an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)

Start with a lower interest rate for a set number of years. An ARM can be a strong fit if you expect to move or refinance again in the coming years.

Jumbo loan options available

For higher-value homes, jumbo refinance options may be available through select ARM products.

15 Year Fixed (Conforming-No Cash Out) 6.375%0.1256.559%$2,592.75

* APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Rates are subject to change without notice. Rates last updated on 07/13/2026 at 12:30 PM (EST). Mortgage rates are based upon a variety of assumptions and conditions. The credit score used in this estimate may be higher or lower than your personal credit score. A loan’s interest rate will depend upon specific characteristics of the loan and the borrower’s credit history through the time of closing. 

 For example, a 30 year fixed rate term for a loan amount of $300,000, the interest rate of 6.875%, with an APR of 6.979%, would result in an estimated monthly principal and interest payment of $1,970.79. This example does not include taxes, insurance, or escrow amounts; your actual payment obligation may be greater. Please consult a Mortgage Loan Advisor for cash-out refinance rates.

*APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Rates are subject to change without notice. Rates last updated on 07/13/2026 at 12:30 PM (EST). ARM loans are variable rate loans; interest rates and payments may increase after consummation.  After the initial fixed-rate period, your interest rate can increase or decrease annually according to the market index. Any change may significantly impact your monthly payment. Since the index in the future is unknown, the First Adjusted Rates displayed are based on the current index plus margin (fully indexed rate) as of July 13, 2026. 

 For example, a 5/1 ARM with a 30-year term for a loan amount of $300,000, the initial interest rate of 6.250%, with an APR of 6.511%, would have an estimated monthly principal and interest payment of $1,847.15 during the initial fixed-rate period (years 1–5) and for years 6-30, monthly payments would be $1,896.00 (based on the current Index plus Margin).  This example does not include mortgage insurance premiums, taxes, insurance, or escrow amounts; your actual payment obligation may be greater. Please consult a Mortgage Loan Advisor for cash-out refinance rates.

Your questions, answered

Refinancing means replacing your current mortgage with a new loan that may offer a different interest rate, payment, or term. Homeowners in North Carolina often refinance to secure steady payments, lower their rate, or shorten their loan timeline. 

Refinancing may make sense if you want more predictable monthly payments, a lower starting rate, or a shorter loan term. It can also help align your mortgage with changes in your financial goals or homeownership plans. 

A fixed-rate refinance keeps the same interest rate for the life of the loan, offering stable monthly payments. An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) starts with a lower fixed rate for a set period, then adjusts annually based on market conditions. 

Refinancing timelines vary, but the process is similar to your original mortgage. After you apply and submit documentation, your loan is reviewed, approved, and finalized at closing. Your mortgage specialist will guide you through each step. 

Yes. Jumbo refinance options may be available for loan amounts above the conforming limit of $832,750 through select ARM products. Availability and eligibility depend on credit qualifications and lending guidelines. 

Refinancing typically costs between 2% and 5% of your loan amount. These costs may include appraisal fees, title services, lender fees, and other closing expenses. 

The exact amount depends on your loan size, property, and the type of refinance you choose. In some cases, you may be able to roll certain costs into your new loan, but that can affect your total balance and monthly payment. 

A quick review of your goals and numbers can help you decide whether the long-term savings outweigh the upfront costs.
