New Hope for Underwater Homeowners

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have adopted changes to the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) and you may be eligible to take advantage of these changes.  Below are a few of the key points:

  • Refi Plus and DU Refi Plus mortgage loans have been extended to December 31, 2013, provided the note date is on or before
  • No maximum LTV for fixed-rate mortgages with terms up to 30 years
  • No mortgage delinquencies on the existing mortgage in the most recent six month period, and no more than one 30-day delinquency in months 7-12
  • Borrowers that have previously received HARP loans are ineligible to refinance under this program.
  • Eligible for those whose loans were purchased by FNMA/FHLMC prior to May 31, 2009.

You can determine whether your mortgage is owned by either Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae by checking the following websites:
