As we continue to wait for HUD’s attorneys to resolve whether the housing Bill creates a single nation loan limit of $417,000 or $625,500, our industry continues to change. With Fannie Mae changing their pricing for CMT based loans, RMD readers requested the previous calculator be updated to reflect a higher margin… happy Friday.
I ran a quick scenario for a 70 year old borrower who has no mortgage balance and a home worth $500,000:
| HECM CMT Current | HECM CMT w/ 417K Limit | HECM CMT w/ 625.5K Limit | |||
| Available | |||||
| After Fees | $245,586 | $285,526 | $344,754 |
The Ibis QD calculators now have their margins set at 1.75% for a Treasury HECM. If the industry moves to 2.00% or higher, the calculators will again be updated.
