FHA, BACK TO THE FUTURE

REASONS FHA WILL BE HUGE IN 2008


Reason #2 FHA LOAN LIMITS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO $417,000.

This increase has already passed the Senate 93 to 1. The Senate is also asking for the minimum down payment requirement to be reduced to 1.5%.

These changes will allow for more FHA financing in our area. Nationally, it is estimated that FHA mortgages make up just 4% of the financing for single family homes. However, just 10 years ago FHA made up over 19% of single family financing.

FHA's higher loan limits combined with lower down payments and flexible underwriting will enable more of your clients to purchase the home they desire.
