As of November 21, 2024, the rates in Utah are 6.49% (6.622% APR) for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage and 5.75% (5.75% APR) for a 15-year fixed-rate loan. See our Rate Assumptions to understand how we generate our rates.
If the interest rates drop to 0.75% lower than the interest rate you have on your mortgage, choosing a rate-and-term refinance loan to a conventional mortgage can save you money on the interest you pay and your monthly mortgage payment amounts.
2. Your Credit Has Significantly Improved
You might qualify for a lower rate of interest if your credit score has significantly improved since you were approved.
3. You Have High-Interest Debt
If you have multiple credit cards with high rates of interest, a cash-out refinance can help you consolidate your debts and pay them off by tapping into your home’s equity. You’ll then have to only worry about making your monthly mortgage payments instead of multiple payments to various creditors. However, you’ll need to avoid running up your high-interest balances again after you refinance to prevent credit problems.
4. You Want to Change Your Mortgage Term or Loan Type
Refinancing your mortgage to a conventional loan might allow you more options for mortgage terms and loan types. By refinancing, you could choose to shorten your mortgage term to pay off your mortgage faster or change to a different type of loan.
5. You have 20% or More Equity in Your Home
If the value of your home has risen significantly since you purchased it, you might have built 20% or more equity in your home. Refinancing to a conventional mortgage could allow you to get rid of your FHA mortgage insurance premium (MIP) or USDA annual guarantee fees while also not having to pay PMI.
6. You Want to Convert Your Home to an Investment Property
If you no longer want to treat your home as your primary residence and would instead like to use it as an investment property, you’ll need to refinance your mortgage to a conventional loan.
Conventional mortgages are the most popular type of home loan for home buyers. For example,April 2023 statistics show that 53% of existing mortgages in the U.S. are conventional loans while 23% are government-backed mortgages.
There are several reasons why it might make sense to refinance your mortgage to a conventional loan in Utah.
If you financed your home with a government-backed mortgage, including an FHA, VA, or USDA mortgage, refinancing your loan to a conventional mortgage might help you to reduce your mortgage payments, enjoy a better interest rate, consolidate your high-interest debts, or repurpose your home to use as an investment property.
Whilegovernment-backed loans offer multiple benefits to first-time homebuyers, including easier qualifying and low or no required down payments, they also might require you to continue paying monthly mortgage insurance and other types of fees that can be eliminated by refinancing to a conventional mortgage.
Even if your existing loan is a jumbo or a conventional loan, there might still be some advantages to refinancing your mortgage.
Here are some factors from the mortgage experts at City Creek Mortgage you should consider when you are thinking about whether to refinance your existing mortgage to a conventional loan in Utah.
Government-Backed vs. Conventional Mortgages in Utah
Government-backed mortgage loans are home loans that are guaranteed by a federal agency. While the agency might not loan money directly, it insures your mortgage and guarantees the lender will be repaid if you default. This incentivizes lenders to approve prospective homebuyers that might not otherwise qualify for conventional mortgages.
While government-backed mortgages allow more people to buy homes and are attractive to many first-time homebuyers, the various programs also restrict the types of property that buyers can purchase and how they can use their homes, and they might also have higher fees and interest rates than conventional mortgages.
By contrast,conventional mortgages are not directly backed by the federal government. They are backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and are offered by private lenders, including mortgage companies, credit unions, and banks. Lenders face more risk when they extend conventional mortgage loans, so it can be more difficult for people to qualify with higher credit and down payment requirements.
Why Refinance to a Conventional Mortgage?
If you have a government-backed loan, there are multiple reasons why you might consider refinancing to a conventional mortgage. For example, refinancing might allow you to lower your mortgage payments, change your mortgage term, choose a new loan type, or pull cash out from the equity you’ve built up in your home.
Refinancing to a conventional mortgage from a government-backed loan might also allow you to repurpose your home to use as an investment property and move into a new home. You might also be able to save a significant amount with a conventional mortgage by eliminating mandatory mortgage insurance payments or fees required by your government-backed mortgage.
Here’s an overview of why you might refinance from an FHA, VA, or USDA mortgage to a conventional loan.
Refinancing from FHA to Conventional in Utah
There are a few reasons why you might consider refinancing from an FHA to a conventional mortgage in Utah, including:
Eliminating Mortgage Insurance Premium from FHA loans
When you got your Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan, you put some money down for a downpayment. If your down payment was under 10% of your home’s sale price when you bought your home with an FHA-backed mortgage, you will continue having to pay yourmonthly mortgage insurance premium (MIP) for the life of your loan. Even if you paid more than 10% down, you’ll still have to continue paying MIP for the first 11 years of your mortgage.
With a conventional mortgage, you may have to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI) if your down payment is less than 20% of your home’s purchase price. However, you can avoid PMI if you have 20% or more equity in your home. So, if your home’s value has increased to reach 20% or more equity, you can eliminate mortgage insurance payments by refinancing your FHA mortgage to a conventional loan, even if you have owned it for less than 11 years.
Accessing More of Your Home’s Equity
A second reason to consider refinancing your home from FHA to conventional in Utah might occur if you purchased your home in a lower-cost area. This is because the loan limits for FHA loans in low-cost areas are lower than the conforming loan limits for conventional mortgages. If you want to access more of your home’s equity and live in a low-cost area, refinancing to a conventional mortgage may provide you with more money than you could get through refinancing your FHA loan to a new FHA loan.
Saving on Interest When Rates Are Low
Even if mortgage interest rates are high, there are times when they drop. If the rates drop below what you’re paying on your FHA mortgage, refinancing to a conventional mortgage might help you to save money by getting a lower interest rate and reducing the amount of your monthly payment.
Refinancing from VA to Conventional in Utah
While a VA-backed mortgage loan can offer numerous benefits to veterans and military service members, you might want to consider refinancing to a conventional mortgage if you can qualify to obtain the following benefits:
Renting Your Home to Someone Else
If you have a VA loan, you must reside in your home as your principal residence and can’t rent it out to someone else. If you want to move into a different home and treat your home as a rental property, you’ll need to refinance to a conventional mortgage.
To avoid the VA Funding Fee: While you can refinance through a VA refinance program, you’ll have to pay a VA funding fee, which can cost between 0.5% to 3.6% of your loan amount. This cost is in addition to other closing costs that may be required for a VA refinance program.
Saving on Interest
Interest rates are always fluctuating, which means they fall all the time. If the rates fall below the interest rate at which you secured your VA-backed mortgage, you could save money on your monthly payments by getting a lower interest rate through refinancing to wither to a conventional mortgage or to a VA loan.
Avoiding the VA Funding Fee
If you refinance your VA mortgage to another VA-backed loan, you might have to pay the funding fee together with your other closing costs. Refinancing your mortgage to a conventional loan can allow you to avoid the funding fee. Thefunding fee for an interest rate reduction refinance loan (IRRRL) through the VA is 0.5% of the loan amount or 2.15% to 3.3% of the loan amount for a VA-backed cash-out refinance.
Refinancing from USDA to Conventional in Utah
You won’t be able to refinance yourUSDA mortgage to a conventional loan in Utah if you bought your home without a down payment until you have built at least 3% equity in your home. If you have 3% or more equity in your home and meet the qualifying criteria for a conventional mortgage, you might want to consider refinancing for the following reasons:
Avoiding the USDA Guarantee Fee
Theguarantee fee is charged upfront and is 1% of the total amount of your loan. This fee helps to fund the USDA’s guarantee program through which it guarantees USDA-backed mortgages. You’ll also have an annual fee of 0.35% of the balance of your mortgage. This fee is divided between your monthly payments. When you refinance your mortgage to a conventional mortgage instead of a new USDA loan, you can avoid the upfront and annual guarantee fees.
Obtaining a Shorter Mortgage Term
When you received your USDA loan, you could only get a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. Refinancing to a new USDA mortgage will also require you to get a 30-year loan instead of a mortgage with a shorter term, which could mean that you pay much more in interest over the life of your refinance loan. If you want to shorten the length of your mortgage, you can refinance to a conventional mortgage and choose a loan term any term from 8 to 30 years. The most common conventional loan terms are 30, 15, 10 and 20 years.
Obtaining a Cash-Out Refinance
If you want to access your home’s equity, you can’t do a cash-out refinance through the USDA. However, you can refinance your USDA mortgage to a conventional loan to complete a cash-out refinance and borrow more money than what you currently owe. You can then use the extra funds to pay for your other needs, including consolidating your debts, paying for your teenager’s college education, or completing home renovations.
Getting a Lower Interest Rate
While interest rates are currently high, they could fall. If the rates drop below the interest rate at which you got your USDA loan, refinancing to a conventional mortgage could help you secure a lower rate of interest and lower mortgage payments.
Refinancing from Jumbo to Conventional in Utah
Jumbo loans allow buyers to purchase homes that exceed the conforming loan limits for conventional mortgages. If you obtained a jumbo loan to purchase a luxury home or live in a high-cost-of-living area in a home for which the sales price was greater than the conforming loan limits, you are likely paying a higher rate of interest than you might want.
Interest rates for jumbo loans are typically higher than the rates for conforming loans, and refinancing to a conventional mortgage might save you up to 1% in interest if the balance of your mortgage is now within the conforming or super-conforming loan limit for your county in Utah.
If you have built enough equity in your home to reach a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 80% or less, refinancing to a conventional mortgage can help you access more programs than you might have had access to when you purchased your home. Refinancing your mortgage to a conventional loan might allow you to consolidate your debts or shorten the term of your loan.
By saving money on your principal and interest payments through a refinance loan, you might be able to shorten the term of your loan to 15 years from 30 while keeping your payments roughly the same.
Refinancing Your Current Conventional Loan to Obtain a Better Mortgage
In some cases, it might make sense to refinance your mortgage to a new conventional loan even if you currently have a conventional loan. For example, if you have an adjustable-rate conventional mortgage, you might benefit from refinancing to a fixed-rate mortgage once the initial fixed period nears its end.
You might also benefit by refinancing to a 30-year mortgage if you need to have more time to repay your mortgage while having lower mortgage payments.
On the other hand, refinancing your conventional mortgage to a shorter term might allow you to pay off your mortgage faster.
Finally, refinancing your current mortgage could also allow you to benefit from a cash-out refinance to consolidate your high-interest debts or use the funds to achieve your other goals.
Is It Ever a Bad Idea to Refinance to Conventional?
There are certain situations in which trying to refinance to a conventional mortgage in Utah might not be a good idea. For example, if your credit has fallen since you purchased your home or hasn’t improved, you might be denied or receive quotes for mortgages at higher interest rates.
It also might not be a good idea if you plan to sell your home within the next couple of years. When you refinance your mortgage, you will have to pay closing costs. Paying closing costs on a new loan might not be cost-effective unless you plan to remain in your home.
Conventional mortgages are the most popular type of home loan because of their better terms, flexibility, and lower rates of interest.

Robyn Spencer has been a pleasure to work with. We had a complicated transaction with a lot of moving parts. She helped to navigate the best possible experience for our customer. I so appreciate how communicative and available she was… More throughout the process, for me and the customer, as well as her wealth of knowledge.
I have spoken with several different lenders. Ascent (Weber State) Credit Union, AFCU, Academy Mortgage, City Creek, Navy Federal, etc. City Creek, since we refinanced our first home several years ago has been an amazing company to work… More with and it all comes down to your amazing rates and customer service.
Devyn has gone above and beyond her call of duty, and that is why I have chosen her over the "preferred lender" from our contractor. Devyn has always kept in touch with us. She called us out of the blue when rates were lower so we could lock at an incredible rate. She did the work for us, which is so refreshing when so much other stuff is going on during the building process.
Devyn has earned my business because of the time she has taken to ensure we are being taken care of. She did the homework for us. I wanted to let you know how great of an experience she has provided for my wife and I, in comparison to other lenders. I hope City Creek never loses that customer experience or the great rates you provide.
"X" was the "preferred" lender for the contracting company we were working with for the past year. Our contractor and "X" were offering an extra amount to close with them instead of other lenders. They have been good to work with but we had to initiate conversations. We had to set up meetings. We had to investigate rates ourselves and keep conversations going to make sure we were meeting deadlines. Even after all this work we did, their rates were still almost a full percent higher than City Creek. I would rather have someone like Devyn and City Creek that does the work for me, and puts the customer first, then receive some extra money from a "preferred lender".
As far as underwriters go, I wanted to give Robyn a shout out as well. We have talked with other underwriters. Robyn has been professional, extremely nice, and quick in her responses. Again, different from other lenders. The overall experience with City Creek has made us feel like an actual customer, and not just a number.
Kudos to the City Creek management style. It shows in their employees.
Robyn Spencer and her team were absolutely a breeze to work with. So incredibly professional, and responsive! We are so excited to work with her again, and would absolutely recommend her.
Sefa and Alexis are literally the DREAM TEAM! I have been working with City Creek and Alexis for over a decade but they never cease to amaze me. Every transaction they are tenacious and relentless to make sure every single detail is handled… More perfectly. I honestly don't know why you would risk using any other lender. My most recent transaction I had the opportunity to work with sefa who was equally amazing as the rest of the team. Thanks Sefa and Alexis!!
Robyn Spencer and her team did a wonderful job on a purchase transaction we worked on together. They were responsive and on the ball. I am looking forward to the next one!
Robyn and Devyn were AMAZING and I am so grateful for them. I almost went with a company who was charging me exorbitant amounts for buy down credits etc. when I talked with city creek mortgage they got me a rate almost .5% lower and I didn’t… More have to pay for a single credit. They were there every step of the way always answering my questions. I was so stressed about my first time home buying process but once I found city creek all my nerves were eased. I have referred all of my friends and family to them because they were that good.
We had the pleasure of working with Jordan, Sefa and Ivie from City Creek Mortgage in the purchase of our first home. Every aspect of the event was smooth sailing because of their hard work and commitment to communication. I would not hesitate… More to recommend their services and plan to use them again in the future.
We had a great experience working with City Creek Mortgage. We felt that Alexis, our Loan Officer, was working in our best interest and in the end we secured an interest rate that was lower than expected!
City Creek Mortgage is the only mortgage company we refer family and friends to. Sefa and Alexis were a delight to work with and were both extremely knowledgeable and professional. 5 star worthy for sure!
I worked with Devyn's team as they supported a loan for my first time home buyer. So great to work with this team! The communication was constant and clear. Looking forward to working with them again!
City Creek Mortgage has always been great to work with. We have used them for a mortgage loan and refinance and every experience has been great. Nicole and Troy helped with the most recent loan and they were both great.
City Creek Mortgage worked with my wife and I on our first home mortgage. Taylor and Sefa were great to work with. Taylor was able to answer all of my questions. We were in a situation where we needed to be diligent and close with a small… More window, they met all of our timelines. Best of all, they had the most competitive rate by far and no surprises or hidden language. I’m so glad we went with a small local business. Thank you.
I just closed on my first home and the process from beginning to end was very smooth. I assumed it would be hard stressful but it was the opposite. Jordan and Sefa were amazing! They kept me informed of everything that was going on and… More were quick with responding to any questions I had. I had a great experience, thank you!
From a REALTOR, Devyn & Robyn were amazing to work with. They took such great care of my clients' needs (and mine). The speed and communication was top notch as was the attention to detail. Also they were very affordable/competitive… More with costs/rates. Give them a try.

Without any reservations, I highly recommend her for all of your mortgage needs.
I can’t express how happy I am with Troy and his team! I have had 12 real estate transactions in my life so far and I have never used a mortgage company or real estate agent twice. I am used to being the one driving the process because… More the others couldn’t do their job. Troy was so helpful throughout the whole process, he even found me a real eater agent in Idaho that turned out to be the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. Troy, Nicole, and Sefa communicated with me regularly and I never once had to call them for an update. They also communicated with my real estate agent throughout the whole process as well. I will forever use these guys. I don’t know if everyone at City Creek is as good as Troy but you have to call him first. My loan was ready to go several days before closing. The process was so smooth and efficient.
Alexis and Carlin were awesome to work with! As a real estate agent, working with a client who is buying a home, one of the most important qualities a mortgage lender can have is to be a good communicator. Both Alexis and Carlin have… More this quality in spades.
Both the home buyer and myself were kept in the loop at all times, even off hours if necessary.
I am a fan.
Thanks again team!

I was so impressed. Buying a house can feel overwhelming but with City Creek I feel that all of that nervous energy was absorbed, changed to positive energy and given right back to us to move forward with confidence and encouragement.… More I was nervous at first and I expressed that I may need a little more frequent contact to get updates so that I was not sweating it out on our purchase. They happily obliged and called me not only when things are moving but when we were in a holding pattern as well. This helped me navigate a process that I don't go through often. Thanks Alexis and Taylor for making this a painless process.

I had a great experience as a real estate agent working with Alexis and her team. She had great communication and got my client’s a sweet deal on their interest rate. Everything went smoothly as expected. Will be using City Creek again.… More 5 stars
Let me tell you, these guys are amazing. I am self employed and my past experience when applying for a home loan or any kind of a loan has always been hard and sometimes I have questioned why I put myself through this again, but for the… More first time ever, this home loan went pretty smooth. I love how city creek is with you every step of the way. From start to finish, it took less than 3 weeks to close and fund my loan. I give them 5 stars.
Troy was literally an answer to prayer! We had been given a much higher interest rate quote by another company when we saw City Creek’s billboard. We decided to give it a shot so I messaged them and they were super responsive. Troy and… More his team were honest, thorough, and managed to get us a much lower rate!

Jackie Freeman provided excellent service and stellar communication. She was able to close our loan very quickly. I highly recommend her for your mortgage loan!
We were using a different lender previously and did not trust them to get the mortgage done quickly and honestly, so we decided to look at other options and City Creek saved us. They got us a much lower interest rate and we were still able… More to close in two weeks.

Jordan and Taylor at City Creek were fantastic to work with on our mortgage. They were extremely professional, on the ball and had excellent communication throughout the whole process. We had a few ups and downs as we were trying to sell… More our home and they were super helpful. And to top it off they got us a great rate with excellent terms on our new home!
I’d highly recommend them and City Creek!
Bottom line: City Creek was $6,533 less when I checked their rates online than what my normal guy quoted me. I closed a few weeks later and was absolutely floored they saved me so much.
I’m a finance professional so shopping around for… More the best price is part of who I am, especially when financing a property. For my last mortgage, I shopped around and found what I thought was a great price. So for this property I got a quote from that same mortgage company and was planning to close with them.
But I also decided to check out City Creek Mortgage. I had seen their billboards advertising rates but hadn't ever priced them out. So I used their rate search tool online which gave me everything I needed to compare apples to apples to the other quote (multiple rate options, various closing cost options, etc. all without talking to anyone).
City Creek's rate was much lower - so much lower I would have had to have paid more than $6K to the other guy to buy his rate down enough to match City Creek's. I'll never know how much of that difference was his commission, but that's way too much money to throw away. After hearing Alexis tell me she was salary-based, it all clicked. That's probably where a big portion of the savings came from.
I wish I would have tested out City Creek's rates sooner, they’re the real deal.
Working with Taylor and Alexis over at City Creek was a breath of fresh air. I like to think that I did my due diligence during the research phase of purchasing a home and assessing mortgage lenders, and ran into all types of personalities… More along the way. In such a high-stress and volatile market (seller's market turned buyer's market, turned recession H2 2022) I realized that predictability and professionalism, which lead to transparency and timely communication, were the most important characteristics for me during this transaction - which City Creek nailed.I'd highly recommend anybody to work with them, and I'll refer them to anyone who asks me they should reach out to in the future.Working with Taylor and Alexis over at City Creek was a breath of fresh air.

Really impressed with City Creek. This is our second loan with them and we were shopping around for mortgages (wanting to be sure) and Alexis and Taylor were fantastic in helping us in easing our nerves, getting a great rate, and providing… More consistent updates in the process. Highly recommend. They took great care of us.
Alexis and Taylor were very nice to work with. They were responsive, and answered all my questions. I spent some time shopping around with various loan agencies and this group was my favorite. They were especially helpful for a first time… More home buyer - I didn't know anything, and they walked me through it step by step.
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Taylor and Alexis at City Creek Mortgage and we are so happy we did! They were so kind, energetic, and professional through the whole process! They worked quickly and kept us updated at every… More point. They were quick to respond to questions and made sure we knew exactly what we were signing up for with the figures and paperwork. We would highly recommend them and can't wait to work with them more in the future!
I cannot say enough great things about my experience with Troy, Ivie and Carlin! Getting a mortgage at this time in the housing market can be very frustrating and discouraging with rates but they each made the process so much easier and… More minimal stress for me.
I was originally referred to my builder's "preferred lender" but wanted to shop around for rates. My builder was offering thousands in incentives towards closing costs with their lender, but I was impressed with the amount of 5 star reviews for City Creek and thought I'd see what they could offer. Troy and his team were able to secure a lower rate and lower closing costs even without the incentive money from the builder!
Troy and Ivie worked hard to think outside the box for my unique situation and Carlin worked so hard to get all the documents done in time. We even bumped up our closing date a week and Carlin was still able to get it all done without any delays! When we were at closing, even the title officer commented how much she appreciated how easy it was for her to work with Carlin on their end.
All of them had great communication through the entire process and their customer service is top-notch! I am so grateful to each of them for all that they were able to do for me and I look forward to working with them again in the future!
Highly recommend Jordan and Taylor at City Creek Mortgage. I was in the market to purchase a home and was trying to figure out which lender to use. The billboards are what drew me in and made me give them a call and I’m very glad I did.… More They were very quick and proficient at their jobs. They were transparent at providing me numbers and information. Best of all, they were able to secure the lowest rate at the lowest closing costs as well. I applied and shopped with 4 other lenders and from the very start I knew I was going to go with City Creek Mortgage simply due to their professionalism and excellent customer service. Thank you again Jordan and Taylor. I will definitely refer anyone I know in the market to you guys. In the future, you will be my Go-To for any mortgage lending needs.
