HUD Announces Changes to FHA Mortgage Insurance Premiums - Effective April 18, 2011

By
Mortgage and Lending with Guaranteed Rate NMLS# 2611 NMLS #151088

On February 14, 2011, HUD announced that it will adjust its FHA Mortgage Insurance Premiums effective April 18, 2011.  This change is outlined in HUD Mortgage Letter 11-10.  It will increase monthly premiums by 25 basis points on that day. 

In order to obtain the lower MI premium, the FHA Case number must be assigned on or before April 17, 2011.  Since that date is a Sunday, the last business day will April 15, 2011......Tax Day.  Coincidence maybe????

These changes all take effect just 6 months after HUD's last mortgage insurance premium change.  The Upfront Mortgage Insurance Premiums will remain unchanged at this time.  One noticeable change is that 15 Year Fixed mortgages <90.00% LTV are no longer exempt from the monthly MI.

Mark....You are right.  Just one more reason to get off of the fence.

Richard....HUD still pretty much has the market cornered.  Conventional MI is still not as readily available at higher LTV's as FHA MI is.

Thanks, Rodney.  I did not see this one coming - so this is very useful when advising our FHA buyers to consult with their lender, sooner rather than later.

Brenda....I think this one caught most everyone off-guard.  I heard a rumor about it last week.

Rodney these rumors always seem to turn to fact. It is like they slip it out so by the time it happens we have adjusted mentally, Not Financially.
