You Can NOW Refinance Your Home if You Owe 125% of Current Value

Are you underwater on your Colorado Springs home mortgage? Now you may have the opportunity to refinance into better rate and terms even if you owe more than your home is worth.

“WASHINGTON – U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan today announced an expansion of the Obama Administration’s Home Affordable Refinance Program to include participation by borrowers who are current but up to 125 percent underwater on their mortgage. Under authorization provided by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, borrowers whose mortgages are currently owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will now be allowed to refinance those loans according to the terms of the Home Affordable Refinance program established earlier this year.” – U.S. Department of Housing and Development, July 1, 2009

   This is a good step by HUD, and great news for Colorado Springs home owners who are upside down and need to refinance. The old limit of 105% was just unrealistic, given that most homeowners have lost 20% to 30% of their values in recent years. Thanks for posting.
