CalculateTypes of Refinance Loans Available in Farmington Hills, Michigan
Homeowners in Farmington Hills, Michigan can choose from several refinance programs. The right one depends on what you are trying to do: lower the rate, shorten the term, pull cash out, or drop mortgage insurance. Pricing, appraisal requirements, and eligibility differ across each, and the cheapest program is not always the lowest posted rate once fees are counted.
Rate-and-Term Refinance
The standard refinance. You replace your existing mortgage with a new loan for about the same balance, changing only the rate, the term, or both. It is the lowest-priced refinance product at nearly every Michigan lender because the loan-to-value ratio does not rise.
Best for homeowners whose rate is at least half a point above today’s Farmington Hills, Michigan average and who plan to stay past the break-even point. Choosing a term that matches your remaining years, rather than resetting to 30, keeps the payoff date where it is.
Cash-Out Refinance
A cash-out refinance replaces your mortgage with a larger one and hands you the difference at closing. Conventional lenders cap the new loan at 80% of appraised value; VA cash-out loans go to 90%. Rates run above rate-and-term pricing.
If you hold a low rate from 2020 to 2022, a home equity loan or HELOC in Farmington Hills, Michigan usually costs less than refinancing the whole balance at today’s rate to pull out cash.
FHA Streamline Refinance
For homeowners already in an FHA loan. No appraisal, no income verification, and limited credit review, as long as the new loan produces a net tangible benefit (generally a rate at least 0.5% lower, or a move from an ARM to a fixed rate). You need 210 days since the first payment and six on-time payments.
The upfront mortgage insurance premium is reduced to 0.01% and annual MIP continues, so FHA borrowers with 20% equity and good credit should also price a conventional rate-and-term refinance, which drops mortgage insurance entirely.
VA IRRRL (Streamline Refinance)
The Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan lets veterans refinance an existing VA loan with no appraisal, no income documentation, and a funding fee of just 0.5% (waived for borrowers with a service-connected disability). Closing costs can be rolled into the loan.
The new rate must be lower than the current one unless you are moving from an ARM to a fixed rate, and you must recoup closing costs within 36 months. VA lenders in Michigan quote IRRRL pricing separately, so ask for it by name.
USDA Streamlined-Assist Refinance
For homeowners with an existing USDA Rural Development loan. No appraisal or credit review in most cases, and the new payment must be at least $50 a month lower than the current one. The property no longer has to meet the rural eligibility map.
Twelve months of on-time payments are required, and the 1% upfront guarantee fee plus the annual fee apply to the new loan.
Jumbo Refinance
The 2026 FHFA conforming loan limit for Farmington Hills, Michigan is $832,750. A refinance above that amount is a jumbo loan and stays on the lender’s books or goes to private investors, so pricing and underwriting are set lender by lender.
Jumbo refinances usually require a 700 or higher credit score, reserves of six to twelve months of payments, and a loan-to-value of 80% or less. Because balances are large, even a quarter-point rate difference is worth thousands a year, so compare the 30-Year Jumbo and 15-Year Jumbo tabs above closely. If paying the balance down to the conforming limit at closing is possible, conforming refinance pricing is often noticeably better.

Independent, Free, and Unbiased Rate Comparisons: MonitorBankRates.com is an independent rate comparison service. Our Farmington Hills, Michigan refinance rate tables are free for consumers to use, and we do not receive payment from any lender to be included or to be ranked in any particular order. Listings are based solely on the rates each lender publicly advertises on its own website.
A Note on Third-Party Rate Tools: Some pages on our site also feature rate comparison widgets and tools provided by third-party partners. These tools may include sponsored listings or affiliate links, and we may receive compensation when users click through them. We clearly label these widgets so you can tell at a glance which rates come from our independent MonitorBankRates.com tables and which come from our advertising partners.
Direct-Sourced & Verified Refinance Rate Data: We aggregate mortgage and refinance rates for Farmington Hills, Michigan directly from the official websites of local lenders, credit unions, and national mortgage originators using our proprietary rate aggregation technology and a dedicated team of rate updaters. Where a lender publishes a product specifically for refinancing, that product is listed by name; where a lender publishes one rate sheet for purchase and refinance loans, that rate is shown as the refinance rate, which is how the lender itself quotes it.
Refinance Premium and HMDA Figures: The refinance premium is the average difference between a lender’s refinance-labeled product and the same lender’s standard product of the same term, computed nightly across lenders that publish both. It is shown for context and is never added to any rate in the tables. HMDA figures are median note rates on first-lien, owner-occupied, one-to-four-unit loans originated in the most recent reporting year, from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s public Loan/Application Register.
Local, Regional, and National Coverage: Our systems constantly monitor the market to provide a complete picture of available home loan products in Farmington Hills, Michigan. We feature a comprehensive mix of licensed NMLS financial institutions, from neighborhood credit unions and competitive regional banks to large national originators available to borrowers in MI.
Daily Updates & Time-Stamped Accuracy: Our rate updaters verify and update mortgage and refinance rates daily. Because rates and APRs can fluctuate rapidly based on bond markets and economic conditions, every loan product features its own “last updated” date for full transparency.
Proprietary Lender Health & Safety Grades: Beyond tracking rates, MonitorBankRates evaluates the financial stability of every listed institution. Our Health Grades (A+ to F) and Star Ratings are composite metrics calculated using objective regulatory data, including the Texas Ratio, ensuring you compare rates from secure, reliable lenders.
Refinance Product Information
How a Mortgage Refinance Works
A refinance pays off your current mortgage with a new loan on the same Farmington Hills, Michigan home. The new lender wires the payoff to the old lender at closing, and from that point you make payments on the new loan only. Because it is a brand-new mortgage, you go through an application, credit check, and usually an appraisal, and you pay closing costs, just as you did when you bought the home.
Refinance Rates vs. Purchase Rates
Most Michigan banks and credit unions post one rate sheet that applies to purchase and refinance loans alike, which is why the tables above show the same lenders you will find on our Farmington Hills, Michigan mortgage rates page. For example, Citizens Bank is listing a Mortgage Refinance - 30-Year Fixed Rate at 7.375% for either purpose. Some lenders price refinances separately and list them by name, such as Citizens Bank’s Mortgage Refinance - 15-Year Fixed Rate at 6.75%. Across lenders that post both, refinance pricing currently runs about 0.116 points above the same lender’s purchase rate nationally. Cash-out refinances, investment properties, and second homes carry pricing add-ons at every lender.
Finding Your Break Even Point
Divide total closing costs by the monthly payment savings and you get the number of months until the refinance has paid for itself. A Farmington Hills, Michigan homeowner who expects to sell before that month should not refinance, no matter how good the rate looks. The calculator above runs this math with today’s local rates. A shorter break-even, under three years, is a comfortable margin; anything past five years needs a long stay to pay off.
Refinance Closing Costs
Refinance closing costs in Michigan typically run two to five percent of the loan and include the lender’s origination fee, appraisal, title search and lender’s title policy, recording fees, and prepaid interest. Discount points are optional and buy the rate down. A no-closing-cost refinance rolls the fees into a higher rate or the loan balance. It is not free, but it can be the better choice for a homeowner likely to move or refinance again within a few years, because there is nothing to recoup.
When to Wait
Refinancing rarely pays when the new rate is less than half a point below the current one, when you are more than ten years into a 30-year loan and would reset the clock, or when your credit score has dropped since the original loan. Homeowners holding a rate from 2020 to 2022 are usually better served by keeping that loan and using a home equity loan or HELOC for cash needs. Our Michigan refinance rate trends above show where rates have been over the past 90 days, and the forecast gives a sense of where they may head, so you can decide whether to lock now or wait.
