USDA Rural Areas may be changing

By
Mortgage and Lending with CMG Home Loans NMLS 248937

USDA announced it is reviewing the Rural Areas, It appears that in NJ we may lose a few eligible areas.

Every 5 years USDA does a review and adjusts the designated areas of eligibility. 

Why is this important? USDA is one of the BEST ways to purchase a home with no down payment.  There are geographical restrictions and income limits, but at the end of the day- they are reasonable and offer buyers an option for a great market interest rate and No PMI, just an inexpensive Guarantee fee that is a fraction of typical Mortgage insurance.

In NJ these are the areas we may lose eligibility:

I have highlighted the ones I feel will hurt the most, and common areas I use the USDA program for my clients.

If you are curious about other areas of the country that are facing changes you can see the full list HERE

The changes are tentatively planned to be effective October 2, 2023. 

 

Please keep me in mind if you are looking for a Mortgage in NJ, I'd be happy to discuss options with you. I can also help guide you in Most other states for a mortgage or an Equity Loan as well; ( Everywhere but UT) 

Give me a call.

Lise Howe It certainly can be an impact!!  but even in areas where we use it often we see agents either not know about it or not understand it .
