\"\"<\/a>FHA May Ease Seller Concession Cap<\/h2>\n

Many in the real estate industry were concerned that a change announced last year to the maximum seller contributions allowed for Federal Housing Administration-insured loans could cause more deals to fall apart. The FHA<\/b> announced last year that it would cut seller contributions from 6 percent to 3 percent for purchases using FHA<\/i>-insured loans. Seller concessions, such as seller assistance to buyers in closing costs, can play a big part in FHA<\/u>-financed home sales and in closing deals, real estate agents say.<\/p>\n

Inman News reports that the FHA may be rethinking its seller contribution cap and will likely announce changes to its policy in April.<\/h3>\n

\u201cRather than an across-the-board 3 percent ceiling on all FHA mortgages, the new policy would permit higher seller contributions, probably between 4 and 5 percent, on smaller loan balances,\u201d Inman News reports. \u201cMeanwhile, the 3 percent cap would be mandatory on all loan amounts above some yet-to-be-specified limit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inman News also speculates that a dollar ceiling on seller concessions might be announced, like a maximum cap of $6,000 instead of a percentage.<\/p>\n

“The FHA is what’s keeping us alive,” Steve A. Brown, executive vice president of Memphis-based Crye-Leike, told Inman News. “If they do a 3 percent across-the-board limit, that would knock out a lot of our sales. But if they go with some graduated deal tied into lower-priced homes, then we should be all right.”<\/p>\n
