Top FHA Mortgage Rates May 21, 2010

FHA mortgage rates have continued to move measurably lower this week and are now at the lowest rates for the year.  Based on the current survey of FHA mortgage rates from Findlocalmortgagerates.com, the average 30 year fixed rate FHA loan has a mortgage rate of 4.700% with 0.575 points.  The current FHA mortgage rate from the top five FHA bank mortgage lenders is down from last week’s average rate of 4.95% with 0.70 points.

FHA loans are government insured loans through the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.  The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offer government insured mortgage loans through approved mortgage lenders.  These home loans have features that usually make theses mortgage loans easier for first-time home buyers to obtain.  The 30-year fixed rate mortgage remains one of the most popular loans for both conventional home financing and FHA loans.

Home loan borrowers who have existing FHA mortgages may want to consider the streamline refinance programs or conventional refinance programs for those borrowers interested in refinancing their existing VA or FHA Mortgage for a lower mortgage rate or to obtain cash out at these historically low mortgage rates.
