Homeowners who are upside down on their mortgage may still be able to refinance

Many homeowners are not aware of the special “Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP)” offered through the government. HARP provides a refinance option to homeowners who owe more on their mortgage than their home is worth. This is great news for homeowners that are upside down on their mortgage who would like to take advantage of the current record-low mortgage rates.

Eligibility requirements for a refinance through HARP include:

• The loan on your property is owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

• The amount you owe on your first mortgage does not exceed 125% of the current market value of your property.
NOTE: Some lenders may require a lower percentage.

• You are the owner-occupant of a one- to four-unit home.

• Your mortgage payments are current, at the time you apply.

• The refinance improves the long term affordability or stability of your loan.
