5.9% Interest Rates on 30 Year Loans and other financing news

Oct-26-2007 002They’re back people.  A bad week of economic news often means a good week for Mortgage Interest Rates.  I try not to name names here, but I saw 5.9% with no points this week from Third Federal.

Also, FHA is still accepting Nehemiah Grants as Down Payment Assistance from the seller through March 31, 2008.  There has been  press about the grant programs ending Oct. 31, 2007.  At the present time, Nehemiah has an extension until March 31, 2008 and will be the only valid seller assisted program that we can use for FHA loans as down payment.  I wonder if this means FHA won’t roll out there 100% financing until next year

Also, you may want to look for down payment assistance from City of Columbus, MORPC, Columbus Housing Partnership and other governmental non-profits.  Oct-22-2007 011

Also, I heard this week that GMAC Mortgage has announced they are pulling all mortgage originations out of the state of Ohio.  They will no longer accept applications for new loans.
