Florida is among the nation’s leaders in mortgage refinancing according to a survey released by the Mortgage Bankers Association. As we previous reported on August 6 “Harp 2.0 to the rescue”, this federally back program has really been helping Florida real estate owners refinance. Homeowner’s are now able to refinance regardless if your home is underwater (worth less than what you may own on your current mortgage).
For example: You may own a Downtown Miami Condo worth 400,000 but your mortgage is 470,000. Until recently refinancing was not an option with conventional lending but Harp 2.0 can easily by pass those equity requirements to get you a new lower rate with less of the banking red tape. This has lead to a surge in refinance applications in Florida since so many real estate owners have been in this exact predicament. Take advantage now while you still can. Since we last reported on Harp 2.0 rates have been on a steady climb. Rates are now at a 10 week high, but still very attractive and well under 4%, still at multi-year lows.
