Requirements For Refinancing A Home Mortgage
Here are the basic requirements for refinancing a home mortgage in California.
- A credit score of 580 or higher
- A debt-to-income ratio of 50% or lower
- 3.5% or more equity in the home.
These are the general requirements for refinancing a home mortgage.
If you have at least a 580 credit score, a debt-to-income ratio below 50%, and 3.5% or more equity does that mean your refinance application is guaranteed to be approved by an underwriter? Unfortunately, the answer is no, but if you meet these requirements you are at least at the base requirement standard used by underwriters.
Also, different home loan programs have different requirements for refinancing a mortgage.

What Is The Estimated Cost To Refinance In California?
Every refinance transaction has a cost, even if you’re not directly paying for those costs. Understanding what’s being charged, why it’s being charged, and what options you have will save you thousands of dollars on your next refinance transaction.
To answer this question I’ll use a quote from our “Cost To Refinance A Mortgage In California” article;
The average cost to refinance a mortgage in California is going to vary from application to application but generally speaking, you should anticipate paying $2,800 to $3,500 depending on the size of the loan and the loan program. This amount does not include lender credits which would lower the amount and it also does not include discount points or origination fees (which would raise the amount).
With a little knowledge and preparation, you too can avoid paying thousands of dollars in junk fees with your next refinance transaction. And there is no secret insight about lowering the cost to refinance a mortgage; just an understanding of how the process works and being prepared is all you need.
