Rates as of November 6, 2026 · Avg Ohio property tax: 1.75% · Avg annual home insurance: $2,278

Today’s 30-year fixed refinance rate in Ohio is 7.000% (7.339% APR), and a 15-year is 6.375% (6.970% APR). On a typical $135,000 Ohio loan, that’s about $898 a month in principal and interest over 30 years or $1,167 over 15. These figures use a typical Ohio home price of $192,800 (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 Ohio?

Monthly savings on a $135,000 balance if you refinance into today’s 30-year fixed rate of 7.000% (7.339% 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%	$944	$898	$46	99 months
8.000%	$991	$898	$92	49 months
8.500%	$1,038	$898	$140	33 months

Principal and interest only, comparing 30-year payments on the same $135,000 balance. New payment at 7.000% (7.339% APR) with 2.125 discount points. Break-even divides the points and lender fees built into that APR (about $4,496 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.

15-year vs. 30-year refinance in Ohio

On a typical $135,000 Ohio loan, a 15-year refinance costs about $269 more a month than a 30-year, but saves about $113,324 in interest over the life of the loan.

Loan term	Rate (APR)	Principal & interest	Total interest
30-year fixed	7.000% (7.339% APR)	$898	$188,337
15-year fixed	6.375% (6.970% APR)	$1,167	$75,013

Conforming refinance rates for Ohio as of November 6, 2026. Total interest assumes you keep the loan for the full term and make every scheduled payment. Taxes and insurance are the same for either term.

Refinance options in Ohio 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.

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.

Ohio refinance programs

The Ohio Housing Finance Agency (OHFA) offers a rate-and-term refinance for homeowners who already have an OHFA mortgage. It works with eligible conventional, FHA, VA and USDA loans, and cash-out isn’t allowed. See the OHFA refinance guidelines.

Ohio refinance FAQs

What are refinance rates in Ohio today?

As of November 6, 2026, Lower’s 30-year fixed refinance rate in Ohio is 7.000% (7.339% APR) and the 15-year is 6.375% (6.970% APR). FHA refinances start at 6.490% (7.403% APR) and VA refinances at 6.500% (6.842% APR). Your rate depends on your credit, equity, loan amount and points.

When does refinancing make sense in Ohio?

When the monthly savings pay back your closing costs before you sell or refinance again. On a typical $135,000 Ohio loan, going from 8.000% to today’s 7.000% (7.339% APR) saves about $92 a month, and the points and lender fees in today’s quote (about $4,496) take about 49 months to recover. Compare the new term too: restarting at 30 years can add interest even when the payment drops.

Yes. OHFA offers a rate-and-term refinance for qualifying homeowners who already have an OHFA mortgage. Cash-out refinancing isn’t allowed, and OHFA and loan-program requirements apply.

Do Columbus, Cleveland or Cincinnati have higher conforming loan limits?

No. Every Ohio county uses the same $832,750 limit for a one-unit home in 2026. A refinance above the limit is a jumbo loan, priced today at 7.000% (7.230% APR) for 30 years.

Can I refinance a VA loan in Ohio?

Yes. If your current mortgage is VA-backed, a VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) can lower your rate with less paperwork than a standard refinance. Lower’s 30-year VA refinance rate in Ohio is 6.500% (6.842% APR) today. VA and lender requirements apply.
