U.S. Housing Secretary Tom Donovan announced yesterday FHLHA (the government entity overseeing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans) will begin offering refinance loans to qualified borrowers at amounts up to 125% of the property's current Loan to Value (LTV).

This means all those folks out there who have been paying their mortgages, watching prices fall and could not refinance to take advantage of better loans and lower rates now have choices, and good ones.

The terms are expected to fall in line with conventional purchase loans in terms, rates and fees.
