USDA Funding Delay

By
Mortgage and Lending with George Souto NMLS #65149 NMLS #65149

USDA just announced their commitment authority will be temporarily unavailable for approximately two weeks at the beginning of their fiscal year October 1st.  During this time frame, USDA will only issue conditional commitments “subject to the availability of commitment authority”.

This means USDA loans scheduled to close during this two week time period will most likely not close on time, because most Lenders will not close USDA loans until USDA funding is once again restored.  Buyers who are purchasing a property with USDA financing should be notified of this USDA Funding Delay as soon as possible so they do not experience a last minute surprise.

Hi George - Thanks for the heads up on this. We're not doing any USDA deals currently but have several areas that are covered by the program.

REgulations are killing the buyers and sellers as it incurres much more in costs.

Hi George, I know this happens from time to time with the USDA. Fortunately, right now I don't have a USDA buyer and increasingly in my market areas qualifying for USDA financing are disappearing rapidly.

We have areas here and there that qualify for USDA funding and no buyers using the program at the moment...hoping the "catch up" is a quick fix...uh oh did I say government and quick in the same sentence ?

George Souto is it not amazing that the consumer is not considered as important here!

This is good information to share - fortunately I don't do any of these USDA loans since Bethesda and DC are not areas that qualify - but further out the USDA loan is VERY popular!
