What is the adverse markets refinance fee?
The adverse markets refinance fee is a fee that was imposed on the American public by the Federal Housing and Finance Agency. This is the agency that oversees mortgages, conventional mortgages specifically, across the country. What they did is they announced last week, this is August, 2020, that they were going to impose a fee on all consumers doing a conventional refinance nationwide moving forward.
What is a conventional refinance?
Conventional means a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loan. If you’re seeking to refinance your mortgage and you’re looking to get into a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac mortgage, this affects you. What it means is that it’s going to increase mortgage rates anywhere from an eighth to a quarter percent for all homeowners across the board seeking a conventional mortgage. No one is immune from this increase and it’s going to affect you.
