Yes the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac “Home Affordable Refinance Program” is still available!! You are able to refinance up to 105%!!
HISTORICAL TIP!
At the end of the last refi boom interest rates moved .50% in two days. Right now the Federal Reserve purchase program is ending March 31, 2010. Currently the Feds represent 70% of the MBS today. If you remove the 70% from the market, who has the financial stability to step in to maintain interest rates at historical lows?
Watch for future auctions and see if the market reacts positively/negatively. Do not wait if you can, secure your financial savings today!
