Rates as of November 6, 2026 · Avg Connecticut property tax: 1.80% · Avg annual home insurance: $2,373

Today’s 30-year fixed refinance rate in Connecticut is 7.000% (7.337% APR), and a 15-year is 6.375% (6.946% APR). On a typical $284,000 Connecticut loan, that’s about $1,889 a month in principal and interest over 30 years or $2,454 over 15. These figures use a typical Connecticut home price of $405,700 (the average of the median prices in its largest cities) and a loan at 70% of that value. Your numbers depend on your balance, your home’s value and your credit.

How much could you save by refinancing in Connecticut?

Monthly savings on a $284,000 balance if you refinance into today’s 30-year fixed rate of 7.000% (7.337% APR), by the rate you have now. If your current rate is at or below about 7.000%, a rate-and-term refinance at today’s rate won’t lower your payment; a cash-out refinance or HELOC may fit better if you need cash.

Your current rate Payment now New payment Monthly savings Break-even
7.500% $1,986 $1,889 $96 98 months
8.000% $2,084 $1,889 $194 49 months
8.500% $2,184 $1,889 $294 32 months

Principal and interest only, comparing 30-year payments on the same $284,000 balance. New payment at 7.000% (7.337% APR) with 2.125 discount points. Break-even divides the points and lender fees built into that APR (about $9,404 on this loan) by the monthly savings; title, appraisal and other third-party closing costs add to that (try our refinance break-even calculator with your own numbers). Restarting a 30-year term can mean more total interest even when the payment drops.

Refinance options in Connecticut by loan type

The examples above assume you’re refinancing into a conventional loan. If you have an FHA or VA loan, owe more than the conforming limit, or want to take cash out, one of these options may fit better.

If you have an FHA loan

FHA streamline refinance

Refinance an existing FHA loan with limited credit documentation and often no appraisal. FHA mortgage insurance still applies.

If you have a VA loan

VA IRRRL

The VA’s Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan lowers your rate with less paperwork than a standard refinance, with no monthly mortgage insurance.

If you owe more than $832,750

Jumbo refinance

A balance above the county’s 2026 conforming loan limit refinances into a jumbo loan. Some Connecticut counties have higher limits, up to $977,500.

If you need cash

Cash-out refinance or HELOC

A cash-out refinance replaces your loan with a larger one and pays you the difference. A HELOC lets you borrow against your equity and keep your current rate.
