The Obama Administration is releasing a brand new revision to the Home Affordable Refinance Program for homeowners that are underwater on their mortgages.  Struggling homeowners that owe more than their homes are worth can take advantage of this new program.

Below, please see the criteria that homeowners must meet to take advantage of this program:

• Borrowers must be current on their mortgage payments.
• The loans must be backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
• Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac must have bought these loans no later than May 31, 2009.
• To find out if your loan is owned by Fannie, click here. To see if it’s owned by Freddie, click here.

Some other revisions to the Home Affordable Refinance Program are that the government will allow some borrowers to refinance their mortgages even if their mortgages exceed 125% of the values of their homes.  Other noted changes to the program also permit less risk for lenders and decreased fees for borrowers.  Some homeowners can even qualify to refinance their mortgages even if they had a foreclosure in the past seven years!

This new program could help tens of thousands of South Florida residents that owe a lot more than their homes are worth.  In fact, Corelogic, a research firm, reported that four out of 10 homeowners in Broward and Palm Beach counties are currently underwater on their mortgages.  Today is the launch of this new program nationwide, but mortgage experts caution underwater homeowners looking to take advantage of this new government program to be patient, as many lenders are not prepared to accept many applications right away.  I caution homeowners to be patient and shop multiple lenders in order to receive the best rates and programs.

I think this program will indeed help many Parkland and South Florida homeowners.  As a result of underwater homeowners taking advantage of this program, the overall real estate market in Parkland will improve.  In the future, more homeowners will be able to refinance their mortgages and stay in their homes resulting in less distressed home listings being put on the market for sale including short sales and bank foreclosures.  If you are looking to take advantage of this new program and need to speak with an expert mortgage professional, please give me a call at: 954-609-0591.

Yesterday, Freddie Mac reported that the average 30-year fixed mortgage interest rates fell just below 4% for only the second time this year. Chad Wandler, a Freddie Mac spokesman, stated that these interest rates have not been this low for 60 years when long-term rates were recorded.

Freddie Mac stands for Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, which is a government-sponsored entity first organized in 1970 to buy mortgages on the secondary market and help expand the availability of money for home loans.  Freddie Mac’s Vice President Frank Nothaft stated that,”Soft home prices and low mortgage rates have kept home-buyer affordability historically high.”

I have been professing that now is truly the best time to buy a home in Parkland or South Florida.  With interest being under 4% and home prices at record low numbers, what are you waiting for?  Sellers that have their Parkland homes on the market are serious about selling.  Now is the time to purchase a home in the City of Parkland.  What a great start to 2012 by owning a home in Parkland, Florida and living the Parkland lifestyle.
