Second Home Mortgages Just Got More Expensive

We can help with a special rate program that can save you money. 

Effective April 1, 2022, Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac have initiated substantial increases for 2nd home loans. 

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced substantial changes to lending practices for second/vacation homes, which officially took place on April 1, 2022!  These changes include an increase in rates by as much as 1%, as these purchases will now be treated more like an investment property, whereas before they were treated similar to a primary residence, impacting the mortgage rate and down payment requirements

For example, a rate increase of 1% on a $500,000 mortgage causes a loss of $80,000 in buying power or an increase of $400 to the monthly payment.  Down payment requirements increasing from 10% to potentially 20%, significantly reduces buying power, even more, allowing fewer people to qualify for a mortgage on a second/vacation home.

So, if you’re looking to buy that home away from home, take advantage of this special Jeanne D’Arc program today! 

The saving power of having a 7/1 ARM

With mortgage rates rising — and the recent changes to second home mortgages, the 7/1 ARM could be just what you need to secure that vacation home.

Because the APR on a variable-rate mortgage is typically lower than a fixed-rate mortgage, it allows the borrower to lock in at a lower rate for some period of time before it adjusts, and that means lower monthly payments.

Below is an example of how this special rate can work for you.

FAQs

A 7/1 ARM is an adjustable mortgage rate (ARM) where the starting APR is fixed for a specific period, in this case, 7 years.

  • The starting APR is typically lower than a fixed-rate mortgage. Also, if the interest drops, you will benefit from that without having to refinance.
  • If a borrower plans on being a short-term homeowner and doesn’t envision themselves living in the same house for long, then an ARM mortgage is an ideal choice.

An adjustable rate mortgage is just how it sounds – the actual annual percentage rate (APR) of your mortgage can fluctuate over time. Whereas with a fixed rate mortgage, you are locked in with that rate for the duration of your mortgage.

Because of the low rates associated with an ARM, it could allow you to qualify for a larger loan amount in the future.

APR is the annual percentage rate. This is the cost to borrow money and includes the interest rate but also other associated fees.
