Help for US homeowners came this week in the form of Increased Loan limits for Fannie Mae (FNMA), Freddie Mac (FHLMC), and Ginnie Mae (Government loans such as FHA, VA, & FHA Secure). This week the United States Congress, Senate and our President, G.W. Bush all came to an agreement on an economic stimulus bill that includes a very important set of provisions for Homeowners. It increases the loan limits for the above entities from a cap of $417,000 for Fannie & Freddie and $362K for FHA to as much as $729,750 in high cost areas such as Coastal California, parts of Florida, New York, and select markets. Overall, it is likely to help hundreds of thousands of homeowners attain affordable, secure financing for their homes during the next year. The increases are temporary (until December 31, 2008) for some of the programs, so those looking to refinance should contact us very soon to get started. We anticipate that this will not only result in lower rates for many loans formerly considered "Jumbo", but will increase the ability to get qualified as these loan programs allow financing up to 97% of a homes appraised value without large penalties or rate increases.
