FHA’s planned mortgage insurance premium cut “suspended indefinitely”

January 26, 2017 By Geoffrey Disch Leave a Comment

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced that it has “suspended indefinitely” a planned cut in the annual mortgage insurance premium on home loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration. The FHA loans accounted for 12.1 percent of loans in the San Francisco metro area in the 12 months ending in September. This is considerably lower than the 24.4 precent in California, primarily because the maximum loan $636,150 in all Bay Area counties (except Solano and Sonoma, which are lower) and the median home price in the region was $695,000.

First-time home buyers often use FHA loans as they require lower down payments (as little as 3.5 percent) and lower credit scores (580 and above) as compared with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Analysts say home buyers in California would have saved an average of $860.00 a year.

Our clients say...

“I’ve been in this industry for over 20 years. I have seen both fantastic and just “ok” escrow officers. The Escrow Officer and her team are typically the last stop for a borrower during the purchase or refinance transaction. You want that person and team to be personable, professional and helpful to your client. Kathy and her team at Green Escrow has surpassed my expectations. The team has gone the extra mile to ensure my file closed on time and without incident. I’m looking forward to continued success with Green Escrow.””
