Historical rates shown for context only. See full disclosures below and current rates in the table above. View Legal Disclosures

Rates as of November 6, 2026 · Avg Washington, DC property tax: 0.60% · Avg annual home insurance: $1,435

Today’s 30-year fixed refinance rate in Washington, DC is 6.990% (7.342% APR), and a 15-year is 6.375% (6.970% APR). On a typical $378,000 Washington, DC loan, that’s about $2,512 a month in principal and interest over 30 years or $3,267 over 15. These figures use a typical Washington, DC home price of $540,000 (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 Washington, DC?

Monthly savings on a $378,000 balance if you refinance into today’s 30-year fixed rate of 6.990% (7.342% APR), by the rate you have now. If your current rate is at or below about 6.990%, 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%	$2,643	$2,512	$131	100 months
8.000%	$2,774	$2,512	$261	50 months
8.500%	$2,906	$2,512	$394	34 months

Principal and interest only, comparing 30-year payments on the same $378,000 balance. New payment at 6.990% (7.342% APR) with 2.250 discount points. Break-even divides the points and lender fees built into that APR (about $13,066 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.

Mallory worked with an old man who has zero technology skills and somehow got me through all of it. She probably should have lost her cool about 20 times but she remained calm and very professional every time and walked me through every step.
