If you are only staying 2 years I understand why you wouldn't refi, but over 4 years you'd save vs the increase in rate. I hate PMI and think it's a racket and I would really run all my numbers and see if it's worth your while. 2-4 years can easily turn into 4-6 years if something happens and your situation changes.

I'm pretty sure if his rate is only 3.375 right now, if he refinances then the higher interest rate is going to cost him a little more than the $130/month he'd be saving in PMI. Plus factor in other costs for appraisal, loan origination fees, and title company fees.
