The chart shows Lower's historical posted mortgage rates for Idaho, sampled weekly on Mondays. Data effective through 2026-09-22. The chart displays historical note rates only. It does not display APR, discount points, fees, or other costs that affect total loan expense. For current rates with APR, points, and assumptions, see the rate table above. Historical rates are not predictive of current or future rates. This chart is not an offer of credit, a commitment to lend, or a Loan Estimate. Actual rates depend on credit profile, market conditions, loan amount, loan-to-value, occupancy, property type, and other factors, and can change daily. FHA loans require mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) not reflected in note rates shown. VA loans require a VA funding fee not reflected in note rates shown. Jumbo loans exceed conforming loan limits and carry different underwriting requirements.
What Affects Mortgage Refinance Rates in Idaho
Idaho refinance rates reflect national lending conditions along with the details of your replacement mortgage. Your credit profile, loan-to-value, loan structure, property details and occupancy can affect the rate and terms available to you.
A refinance quote can differ from a purchase quote for the same borrower because the purpose and structure of the transaction are different. Compare the proposed new mortgage with the loan you already have, including its rate, term and costs.
The interest rate is the percentage charged for borrowing the principal. The annual percentage rate, or APR, is a broader annualized measure that includes the interest rate plus certain loan costs. APR can provide additional context when two refinance offers have different rates or upfront costs.
If you are buying rather than refinancing, compare Idaho mortgage rates.
Types of Refinances Available in Idaho
A rate-and-term refinance replaces your existing mortgage without taking cash out of the property. The replacement loan can change the rate, term or both.
A lower interest rate could reduce your monthly principal-and-interest payment, while changing the term can affect both the payment and how long you carry the mortgage. Compare those changes with the costs required to complete the refinance.
How long you expect to keep the new mortgage also affects the calculation. Use the refinance break-even calculator to compare the upfront costs with the expected monthly savings.
FHA and VA Refinance Options in Idaho
If your current mortgage is FHA-backed, an FHA streamline refinance uses limited borrower credit documentation and underwriting to refinance an existing FHA-insured mortgage. An FHA simple refinance also replaces an existing FHA mortgage and requires an appraisal. HUD's FHA streamline refinance guidance covers the streamline requirements.
If your current mortgage is VA-backed, a VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan, or IRRRL, may help lower your monthly mortgage payment or make payments more stable by moving from an adjustable-rate loan to a fixed-rate loan. The VA's IRRRL guidance covers eligibility and program requirements.
Conforming Loan Limits for an Idaho Refinance
Most of Idaho uses the national baseline conforming loan limit. Under FHFA's 2026 conforming loan limits, the one-unit limit is $832,750 in 43 of Idaho's 44 counties. Teton County is the exception, with a one-unit limit of $1,249,125.
That means a one-unit refinance above $832,750 exceeds the conforming loan limit in most of Idaho, including Ada County and Kootenai County. Teton County allows a substantially higher loan balance before exceeding its 2026 one-unit limit. A mortgage below the applicable limit still has to meet conventional mortgage requirements to qualify as conforming.
Why Teton County Has a Higher Conforming Loan Limit
FHFA allows higher conforming loan limits in qualifying high-cost housing markets. For 2026, the maximum one-unit limit in a high-cost area is $1,249,125, or 150% of the $832,750 national baseline. Teton County reaches that ceiling, making it the only Idaho county with a one-unit conforming limit above the national baseline.
Idaho Refinance FAQs
When Does Refinancing Make Sense in Idaho?
Compare your existing mortgage with the proposed replacement loan, including the interest rate, monthly payment, new loan term and closing costs. The length of time you expect to keep the new mortgage affects whether any monthly savings have enough time to offset the upfront costs.
Is a $1 Million Refinance a Jumbo Loan in Idaho?
It depends on the county. A $1 million one-unit refinance exceeds the $832,750 conforming loan limit that applies in 43 Idaho counties. In Teton County, $1 million remains below the 2026 one-unit limit of $1,249,125. A loan below the applicable limit must still meet conventional mortgage requirements to qualify as conforming.
Can I Refinance a VA Loan in Idaho?
Yes. If your current mortgage is VA-backed, an IRRRL may be available to refinance it. The existing mortgage must be VA-backed, and VA and lender requirements apply to the new loan.

Fred was an absolute 10/10 throughout our entire home-buying experience. My wife and I were first-time home buyers, and he made what could have been a confusing and stressful process feel simple and easy to understand. He always explained things in layman’s terms, gave us valuable insight that genuinely benefited us, and made sure we understood every step along the way. What stood out most was that we truly felt like Fred was in our corner throughout the entire process. He… was knowledgeable, helpful, and always made us feel comfortable asking questions. We couldn’t have asked for a better loan officer for our first home purchase. We highly recommend Fred to anyone looking to buy a home!
