The chart shows Lower's historical posted mortgage rates for Maryland, sampled weekly on Mondays. Data effective through 2026-09-23. 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 Maryland
Maryland 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 Maryland mortgage rates.
Types of Refinances Available in Maryland
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 Maryland
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 but uses an appraisal and credit-qualifying underwriting. 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 requires the mortgage being refinanced to already be VA-backed.
Conforming Loan Limits for a Maryland Refinance
Maryland's conforming loan limits vary by county. Under FHFA's 2026 conforming loan limits, the national baseline for a one-unit property is $832,750, and 19 Maryland jurisdictions use that amount.
Five Maryland counties have higher limits. Calvert County has a $1,209,750 one-unit limit. Charles, Frederick, Montgomery and Prince George's counties reach the 2026 high-cost ceiling of $1,249,125.
Other major Maryland markets remain at the $832,750 baseline. That includes Baltimore City as well as Anne Arundel, Baltimore and Howard counties.
A refinance above $832,750 can therefore exceed the conforming limit in one part of Maryland while remaining below it in another. A mortgage below the applicable county limit still has to meet conventional mortgage requirements to qualify as conforming.
Maryland Refinance FAQs
When Does Refinancing Make Sense in Maryland?
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 Maryland?
It depends on the county. A $1 million one-unit refinance exceeds the $832,750 conforming limit in Baltimore City, Anne Arundel County, Baltimore County, Howard County and other baseline-limit areas. It remains below the 2026 limit in Calvert, Charles, Frederick, Montgomery and Prince George's counties. Loan size is only one part of conforming eligibility, so the mortgage must also meet applicable conventional mortgage requirements.
Can I Refinance a VA Loan in Maryland?
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.
