If you have an FHA loan you could do a streamline without appraisal now at around 4.5% and the value isn't even an issue.  If you have a conventional loan you aren't going to have any options really except possibly a "short refinance" which is a new program that has recently come out here in UTAH.  Those are your best options.

Yes home values have gone down nationwide except for few isolated areas.  If your numbers are accurate, you will not be able to find a lender who is able to refinance your loan due to the amount you owe is more than the home is worth.

If you are looking to reduce your rate and/or payment, i would suggest speaking to your existing mortgage company and see if they can modify your terms.

If you currently have FHA financing, this is the only program you are able to refinance for a lower program without worrying about the above issue.  FHA offers a "streamlined" refinance for better terms regardless of value.

Phil, almost every piece of property in the nation has gone down in value. Your current loan is over 100% of value. No one is going to refinance your property unless you buy the loan down. Good luck!
