HARP extended. What is HARP?

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has announced the extension of the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) The FHFA has extended the program to 2015. What is HARP? HARP was introduced in 2009 as part of the Making Home Affordable Program. HARP is designed to help people refinance a mortgage owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The program may provide borrowers, who may not qualify for a refinance because of declining home values or reduced access to mortgage insurance, the ability to refinance their mortgage into a lower interest rate and/or more stable mortgage product. In order to take advantage of the HARP program the borrower must be current on their mortgage payment with no late payments in the last six months and no more that a single late payment in the last 12 months. Short Sale is an excellent option for homeowners who are unable to qualify for a refinance or are behind on their mortgage payments.
