$139,700Est. equity from price growth over 5 years on a $435,900 home

Maine home prices rose 47.2% over the five years through the second quarter of 2026 and rose 1.1% over the past year, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s House Price Index. That ranks Maine 38th among the 50 states and Washington, DC for price growth over the past year. If a home worth Maine’s typical home price of $435,900 kept pace with the index, it was worth about $296,200 five years ago. That’s about $139,700 in equity from price growth alone, before counting any mortgage payments.

A cash-out refinance is based on your home’s current appraised value, so price growth can increase how much cash you may be able to take out. It’s a statewide index, so prices in your area, and your home’s value, may have changed more or less.

How much cash could you take out in Maine?

A cash-out refinance replaces your mortgage with a larger loan, and you get the difference in cash. Here’s how that works out on a typical Maine home worth $435,900, depending on what you still owe.

Estimated cash before closing costs on a $435,900 home with a new loan at 70% of its value, by how much you still owe on your mortgage (shown as a share of the home’s value).

If you still oweCash with a new loan of $305,130 (70% of value)
20% of value ($87,000)$218,130
30% of value ($131,000)$174,130
40% of value ($174,000)$131,130
50% of value ($218,000)$87,130

With a new loan of $305,130 at 7.375% (7.759% APR), your estimated monthly housing cost would be about $2,643: $2,107 principal and interest, $421 property taxes and $115 homeowners insurance.

New loan at 70% of value: $305,130

Estimated cash before closing costs: $131,130

Estimated monthly principal and interest at 7.375% (7.759% APR): $2,107

Estimated property taxes and insurance (local Maine estimates): $536

Estimated total monthly housing cost: $2,643

How we got these numbers: The home value is the typical Maine home price (sources below). The new loan is 70% of that value, the loan-to-value Lower’s cash-out rate is quoted on. Monthly costs add local Maine property taxes of about 1.16% of value a year and homeowners insurance of about $1,377 a year. Borrowing more, up to the 80% limit that generally applies to a one-unit primary home, may mean a higher rate. Each estimate is the new loan amount minus what you owe, before closing costs and any discount points. A “—” means the new loan wouldn’t cover what you owe. These are examples, not an offer: your actual amount depends on your appraisal, your credit, your debt-to-income ratio and the property. See how much you can cash out on a refinance.

Cash-out refinance basics

A cash-out refinance replaces your current mortgage with a larger loan, and you get the difference in cash at closing. The new rate applies to your whole balance and closing costs apply, so if your current rate is lower than today’s, a HELOC or home equity loan may cost less.

I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to refinance their home. Choosing to do a cash-out refinance on my home turned out to be an incredibly challenging situation filled with numerous roadblocks and an emotional roller coaster… of ups and downs. However, working with Taylor and Anita made all the difference in the world. Throughout the entire process, they provided constant reassurance, deep comfort, and kept my anxiety levels at a manageable level during moments when I felt completely overwhelmed. Their professionalism, empathy, and dedication went far beyond just processing a loan; they truly cared about my peace of mind. I am incredibly grateful for their unwavering support and couldn't have crossed the finish line without them.
