While the USDA Loan Program has limits on the fees that can be charged, Fannie and Freddie are introducing new fees to be charged to consumers based on your credit score and how much you are putting down.
If you plan to put more than 25% down and have a credit score higher than 720, you won’t notice a difference in the new Fannie and Freddie price hikes. Everyone else will see a substantial price increase, only if you apply for conventional financing.
The Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac price increases go into effect on April 1, 2011.
Just to give you an idea, for someone buying a $150,000 home with 5% down and a 620 middle credit score, Fannie Mae will charge that borrower an extra $4,631 at closing once April 1st hits.
With the USDA Loan Program, not only do you keep that 5% down payment in your bank account but you get to keep the extra fee the Fannie Mae would charge you.
Proof once again that the USDA Loan Program is the cheapest loan available to buy a home in Arizona.
We are seeing the use of the USDA Loan Program increase in popularity all over Arizona, especially in Sahuarita, Anthem, Buckeye, Maricopa and Queen Creek.
