There are several strategies that homeowners can explore to potentially lower their mortgage payments without going through the process of refinancing. Here are some options:

Make Extra Payments:
Making additional payments towards the principal can help reduce the overall loan amount and shorten the loan term, resulting in lower interest payments over time.

Biweekly Payments:
Instead of making monthly payments, consider switching to a biweekly payment schedule. This results in one extra payment each year, helping to pay off the loan faster.

Check for PMI Removal:
If you've reached a certain level of equity in your home, you may be eligible to remove private mortgage insurance (PMI), resulting in lower monthly payments.

Recast the Mortgage:
Some lenders offer mortgage recasting, where you make a lump-sum payment towards the principal, and the lender adjusts the remaining loan balance. This doesn't change the interest rate or term but can lower monthly payments.

Negotiate Property Taxes:
If property taxes have increased, you may have the option to appeal the assessment or negotiate with your local tax authority to potentially lower your property tax bill.
