Appraised value is $636,000. I would like to lower my rate and get into something other then a jumbo, any suggestions? I am in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin.

Why don't you get a conforming at $417K at market and get a HELOC line for putting the other $74K in?  A 90% HELOC line would net you a $81,400 line.

RR,

Your combined loan to value is 77%. I just checked unless I missed something no county in WI qualifies for a high Balance Conforming Loan. Over $417K is Jumbo.

To receive a good Jumbo Rate your LTV must be at 75% or less. If you can do that you could get a loan in the Low to High 4% range on another Arm or Mid to High 6% on a 30F.

If you can't you'll be looking at around 8% on a 30F at 80% LTV or less. ... If that's the case you are prbably better off staying with what you have. ... In all probability your 5/1 Arm will adjust downward. .... Good luck, Rudi
