FHA Refinance Loans Offer Fixed Rates |
Many Texas borrowers have become delinquent with debts because of the increasing payments from the adjustable interest rates with revolving accounts. Unfortunately, many Lone Star homeowners do not qualify for conforming refinance loans because guidelines have tightened significantly and house values have declined severely.
FHA home loans provide competitive 30-year fixed interest rate terms. FHA loans are offered up to 97% rate and term. Texas borrowers are not permitted to get cash out with 95% FHA refinancing like the other 49 states. |

Texas Mortgage Rates Update: Home Refinancing Options with FHA Loans - Texas is escaping the brunt of the sub-prime mortgage debacle, but it's still feeling some of the pain. Statewide, there has been a 14 percent increase in foreclosure filings. There were 2,700 foreclosure filings in El Paso in 2006. That adds up to one per every 381 households. Officials in Corpus Christi are concerned that over-building may already have led to excess housing inventory, which is likely to decrease home values. While cities like Fort Worth, Dallas and San Antonio suffer with increasing foreclosure rates, Austin's foreclosure rate has actually decreased 15 percent in the last year. San Antonio is now 8th on the list of America's most stable housing markets.

Home Refinancing Applications are up across Texas and the Mid-West as homeowners look to secure fixed rate loans that save them money! |
| Attention Texas Homeowners: Texan home values may have been going down in some regions, but mortgage rates may be dropping at a faster pace. |
One thing helping Texas is a wave of corporate relocations. Because housing prices are low, companies interested in consolidating operations are moving to Texas. Home prices didn't balloon in Texas, so there probably won't be as big a drop. Another thing is the relatively low unemployment rate. Dallas, Houston, Arlington and Fort Worth, some of the states largest metropolitan areas, were able to lower their unemployment rate from 4.3 percent to 3.8 percent in the last year.
Still, for many Texans, home refinancing has become problematic. Texas mortgage rates, just like rates in other states are on the rise. Adjustable rate mortgages are coming due and Texans have very few refinancing options. Problems include loss of home equity, bad credit scores, loss of local lending programs, tighter mortgage guidelines, very few 100% refinancing options. Texas homeowners are trying to find refinancing solutions for their adjustable rate mortgage payments. Sub-prime mortgage lenders going out of business have not helped and there is no secondary market.
It's critical for homeowners facing mortgage problems to get help as quickly as possible. Texans facing impending mortgage or payment problems should take immediate action to keep their problems from escalating.
Fixed rate refinance loans are critical while you have value. Decreasing property values may limit your ability in the future. Government loans are available for some homeowners through the FHA and the VA. FHA Secure is one refinancing option. It gives credit-worthy homeowners, who were making their mortgage payments on time before their interest rates rose, but are now in default. The FHA expects to serve some 80,000 delinquent borrowers this year.
