Waiting a few extra days or weeks to purchase a home this spring could cost buyers
thousands of extra dollars as the office of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
implements several changes for loans guaranteed by the Federal Housing Authority (FHA).Coming just weeks before the April 30 deadline for the Home Buyer Tax Credit and just
days after the March 31 expiration of the Federal Reserve Board’s mortgage backed
securities purchase program (which has kept home loan rates artificially low for over a
year),  these FHA changes make it even more important to act now to save big.

Here are a few reasons why:

On April 5th, the cost of required up-front mortgage insurance for loans guaranteed by
the FHA will increase from 1.75% to 2.25%. For a borrower purchasing a $200,000
home with a $7,000 down payment, the up-front mortgage insurance will increase by
$965. Up-front mortgage insurance is typically financed in the final loan amount so the
impact to a monthly payment will be minimal but overall, the increase is still borne by
the borrower  both upfront and monthly.

Later this spring, the amount of money that a seller can return to the buyer from their

sale  proceeds will be reduced from 6% to 3%. The reduction in these “seller concessions”
can increase the amount of cash a buyer will be required to pay at closing by $6,000 for a
home  purchase of $200,000.

There is only one way to avoid being affected by all of these costly changes that
lie ahead – submit all FHA mortgage applications by the last week of March.

If I can answer any questions you may have about how these changes could impact you,
call me. I appreciate your business.
