Today’s 30-year fixed refinance rate in Pennsylvania is 7.000% (7.326% APR), and a 15-year is 6.375% (6.948% APR). On a typical $175,000 Pennsylvania loan, that’s about $1,164 a month in principal and interest over 30 years or $1,512 over 15. These figures use a typical Pennsylvania home price of $250,000 (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 Pennsylvania?
Monthly savings on a $175,000 balance if you refinance into today’s 30-year fixed rate of 7.000% (7.326% 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% | $1,224 | $1,164 | $59 | 95 months |
| 8.000% | $1,284 | $1,164 | $120 | 47 months |
| 8.500% | $1,346 | $1,164 | $181 | 31 months |
Principal and interest only, comparing 30-year payments on the same $175,000 balance. New payment at 7.000% (7.326% APR) with 2.000 discount points. Break-even divides the points and lender fees built into that APR (about $5,611 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 Pennsylvania 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.
FHA streamline refinance
Refinance an existing FHA loan with limited credit documentation and often no appraisal. FHA mortgage insurance still applies.
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.
Jumbo refinance
A balance above the county’s 2026 conforming loan limit refinances into a jumbo loan. Some Pennsylvania counties have higher limits, up to $1,209,750.
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.
Pennsylvania refinance programs
The Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA) offers several refinance options through participating lenders, including an HFA Preferred conventional refinance, FHA Streamline and VA IRRRL refinances with no cash back, and the Keystone Flex program for conventional, FHA or VA loans. The home must be your primary residence and income limits apply, and Keystone Flex allows cash-out of up to $10,000. See PHFA refinance details.
Pennsylvania refinance FAQs
What are refinance rates in Pennsylvania today?
As of November 6, 2026, Lower’s 30-year fixed refinance rate in Pennsylvania is 7.000% (7.326% APR) and the 15-year is 6.375% (6.948% APR). FHA refinances start at 6.500% (7.399% 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 Pennsylvania?
When the monthly savings pay back your closing costs before you sell or refinance again. On a typical $175,000 Pennsylvania loan, going from 8.000% to today’s 7.000% (7.326% APR) saves about $120 a month, and the points and lender fees in today’s quote (about $5,611) take about 47 months to recover. Compare the new term too: restarting at 30 years can add interest even when the payment drops.
Does PHFA offer a refinance program?
Yes. PHFA offers an HFA Preferred conventional refinance, FHA Streamline and VA IRRRL refinances, and the Keystone Flex program for conventional, FHA or VA loans, all through participating lenders. The home must be your primary residence and income limits apply; streamline and IRRRL loans don’t allow cash back, while Keystone Flex allows cash-out of up to $10,000.
Do Philadelphia, Pittsburgh or Allentown have higher conforming loan limits?
No. They use Pennsylvania’s baseline $832,750 limit for a one-unit home in 2026. A refinance above the limit is a jumbo loan, priced today at 6.875% (7.131% APR) for 30 years.
Can I refinance a VA loan in Pennsylvania?
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 Pennsylvania is 6.500% (6.842% APR) today. VA and lender requirements apply.
