FHFA Extends Refinance Program

Home Marketing
March 2, 2010
Reading Time: 1 min read

RISMEDIA, March 3, 2010—Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Acting Director Ed DeMarco announced the extension of the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP), a refinancing program administered by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to June 30, 2011. The program is a key component of the Administration’s Making Home Affordable Program announced last February. The HARP program expands access to refinancing for qualified individuals and families whose homes have lost value. The program was set to expire on June 10, 2010.

“FHFA has reviewed the current market situation and the state of mortgage insurance availability and has determined that the market conditions that necessitated the actions taken last year have not materially changed,” said DeMarco. “Accordingly, to support and promote market stability, and to encourage lenders and other mortgage market participants to fully adopt the HARP program, including the implementation of the October 2009 expansion of loan-to-value ratios (LTVs) to 125%, FHFA is authorizing the extension of HARP until June 30, 2011.”

In 2009, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac purchased or guaranteed more than 4 million refinanced mortgages. Of this total, 180 were HARP refinances with LTVs between 80-125%. The HARP began in April 2009 and has grown over the past few months.
