Happy Friday!
Big news this week with FHA announcing (see link here) that starting March 20th the monthly mortgage insurance premiums will lower from .85% to .55%.....a reduction of 30 basis points. Will save buyers in our high cost area over $125 a month on a $500,000 loan. This is a big deal and as a Selling and Listing Agent expect to see more FHA approved buyers emerging this year.

Why will you see more FHA approved buyers this year making offers? 1) FHA has attractive interest rates and in combination with a lower monthly MIP the overall payment often times will be similar if not lower than Conventional. 2) LLPA adjustments with Fannie and Freddie have downright became nasty in 2023. Check out my recent presentation from a couple weeks ago here on how this is going to negatively impact a lot of buyers on the Conventional side.
