Matt,

There are a number of factors that will affect the ability for you to refinance now, most importantly value of the home compared to neighboring properties and your documented ability to repay. If you bought your home in September using a down payment, most likely you will have equity available. Lenders are more conservative now than on how much risk they are willing to take, including most likely your current lender...if they are still in business. As an independent broker and correspondent bank, we have the ability to marry you up with the ideal lender for your individual situation with the lowest fees in the industry. Please get in touch with me at your convenience.

Start by calling the bank you currently have your mortgage with and ask their opinion. It will cost you a few thousand to re-finance because you have to go through closing again so, where is that money coming from? HSBC has been the most competitive in New York State and don't carry a lot of Junk fees. They also service their loans themselves.
If you want a number direct, call 716-651-6136. They will be very helpful to you.
