Making Home Affordable (?)

07/28/2009

One of the principal qualifications under the “Making Home Affordable” program announced by President Obama required that your loan-to-value be between 80-105% of the currently assessed value of the home. In English: To qualify for the program’s special low refinancing rates, you needed to have between 20% equity in your home up to being 5% upside down. The result? About four people in Florida came close to qualifying.

The upper limit (i.e. the amount by which you can be upside down) has been raised to 125% of the home’s value. So, in other words, if your home is currently worth $100,000, you might qualify if the amount of your loan is between $80,000.00 (80% LTV) to $125,000.00 (125% LTV). Better, but still very limited. There are a number of other qualifying factors, see http://makinghomeaffordable.gov/,
