The Jumbo Rate & Term Refinance Program is designed for borrowers refinancing homes with loan amounts that exceed conforming loan limits. This program offers competitive fixed-rate financing for higher-value primary residences, second homes, or investment properties. It follows Agency guidelines unless otherwise noted and allows qualified borrowers to refinance an existing mortgage to improve their interest rate, loan term, or both—without taking cash out and without mortgage insurance.

This program is ideal for buyers who:

Have an existing jumbo loan and want to lower their rate or adjust their loan term.
Prefer fixed-rate financing with no mortgage insurance.
Have strong credit (typically 680+ FICO).
