HARP refinances

Very specialized. Apply on my website today. Www.michaelfoote.com ....also QEIII comments coming shortly.

HARP refinances topped 180,000 in the first quarter of this year compared to approximately 93,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011. Last fall, of course, was when several changes took place: the removal of the LTV ceiling and the elimination/lowering of fees for certain Fannie or Freddie borrowers. Per the FHFA, one in seven refinanced loans during the quarter was through HARP - in March alone, there were nearly 80,000 HARP refinances, a quarter of them on loans with LTVs greater than 105 percent. More than 4,400 loans with LTVs greater than 125% were refinanced since the beginning of the year; over half these loans were refinanced in the states of California, Florida and Arizona.
