Obama Cuts Mortgage Insurance Rates
In a move that is intended to help nudge the housing recovery along, the Obama Administration lowers FHA mortgage insurance rates from .85% to .5%. The White House anticipates that this will save impacted homeowners approximately $900 per year. While this reduction is not anticipated to have a wide-ranging effect on the overall housing market, it should help spur more home ownership opportunities for first-time buyers.
