FHA reducing insurance premiums on most new mortgagesFHA reducing insurance premiums on most new mortgageshttps://www.recenter.tamu.edu/news/newstalk-texas/?Item=155522017-01-10T06:00:00Z2017-01-10T17:00:00Z

​WASHINGTON, D.C. – ​​​​The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) announced plans to reduce the annual premiums most borrowers pay by a quarter of a percent.

FHA is reducing its annual mortgage insurance premium (MIP) by 25 basis points for most new mortgages with a closing/disbursement date on or after Jan. 27, 2017​. The new premium rates are projected to save new FHA-insured homeowners an average of $500 ​this year.

This reflects the fourth straight year of improved economic health of FHA’s Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund (MMIF), which gained $44 billion in value since 2012. Last year alone, an independent actuarial analysis found the MMIF’s capital ratio grew by $3.8 billion and now stands at 2.32 percent of all insurance in force—the second consecutive year since 2008 that FHA’s reserve ratio exceeded the statutorily required two percent threshold.​
