President Barack Obama is in transit to Phoenix AZ right now. Tomorrow morning, here in phx, he will announce that FHA will reduce their monthly PMI factor from 1.35% to 0.85%THIS IS A BIG DEAL!!!

·         Currently, on a $200,000 loan amount the PMI for an FHA loan is $225 a month (boooo!)

·         With this change PMI on a $200,000 for FHA would go to $142 a month (hooray!!!)

 

It is not yet known when this change will happen, but some say it will take place sometime this summer.

 

This along with the 3% down conventional loans is HUGE for housing. This will make things a lot more affordable for people. With minimal effort and budgeting almost anyone can save for down payment (only 3% down) and or afford a mortgage payment (PMI is lower and mortgage payments are WAY lower than rent).

It makes sense.  With 97% conventional loans FHA's MI prices had to be adjusted.  I wonder if they're going to visit changing the rule that the MI stays on for the life of the loan.
