California HARP Mortgage Lenders Continue to Lead the Nation in HARP Loans as the Housing Market place Heats Up

Posted on by


Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) June 06, 2013

Harp Mortgage Lender, a national lending network of mortgage pros approved to work with the Obama Administrations Residence Reasonably priced Refinance Plan (HARP), reports that current data from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) sees California as the No. 1 user of HARP loans in the country via early 2013, a trend that has been occurring all through the programs four-year history, and 1 that continues to spell savings of over $ 4,300 a month on average for the HARP-eager borrowers of the Golden State, who have been steadily utilizing a lot more and much more loans as the housing market continues to heat up.

&#13

In the FHFAs Refinance Report published May 7, California HARP borrowers utilized 14,204 HARP loans for the most current month on record, February of 2013. This was up 27 loans from Januarys total of 14,177, and up a whopping two,990 loans from 11,214 in the final month of 2012all signs that there is only rising demand for a system that had as many loans in 2012 nationwide (1.1 million) as it did in its initial three years prior to that combined. A reason for this boost is undoubtedly the revisions to HARP in late 2011 that produced the program much more accessible to deeply underwater borrowers, not to mention the recent housing rebound that is seeing median property sales values spiking in 2013 from San Diego up to San Francisco, giving underwater borrowers significantly much more of an incentive to hang on to residences which have grow to be increasingly useful assets.

What this data implies for underwater borrowers is that its a wonderful time to get locked into the low California HARP rates ahead of they rise alongside the prospering California housing market. It also indicates that Californians are beginning to see homes as a profitable investment again, which could clarify why RealtyTrac sees foreclosure filings down 59 % year-over-year.

&#13

Combine these stats with the current prediction by Fannie Mae that California HARP refinancers are saving far more than $ four,300 a year on their mortgages, and its clear why tens of thousands of Californians are turning to the program every month. A single could argue that HARP loans are a lot more useful than ever just before to California borrowers trying to keep away from a foreclosure or brief sale, says Alameda, California Mortgage Professional Garrick Werdmuller at Very first Priority Economic. Positive, $ four,300 a year is a nice chunk of modify, but that quantity could really pale in comparison to the return borrowers who use HARP to stick with their mortgage could reap numerous years from now if the housing market place continues to gain worth at this price.
