We want to add he signed a second bill that retroactively reinstates the National Flood Insurance program, which expired May 31, until September 30. This news is important for home buyers who are shopping in areas where flood insurance is necessary to get a mortgage. It would obviously behoove these buyers to close before September 30.

]]> Comment on TDHCA Bond 77 Mortgage Revenue Bond Program Details by Jonathan http://www.platinumrealtyaustin.com/austin-real-estate-news/tdhca-bond-77-mortgage-revenue-bond-program-details/comment-page-1/#comment-2 Jonathan Sat, 05 Jun 2010 21:03:06 +0000 http://www.platinumrealtyaustin.com/?p=2564#comment-2 With the federal tax credit for first-time homebuyers having expired in April, Realtors and mortgage lenders in Texas hoping to maintain the pace of home sales are looking for help from a new agent of sorts — Bond 77. That’s the name of a new program, launched this month by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, under which the department is making $500 million available to eligible homebuyers for mortgage loan assistance — either through down payment assistance or by facilitating a lower interest rate. The Bond 77 program is part of the state’s ongoing first-time homebuyer program. “It’s the single-largest financing initiative for state homebuyer funds in the 27-year history of the program and serves as the state’s response to the recent expiration of the federal homebuyer tax credit,” said Gordon Anderson, a spokesman for the Department of Housing and Community Affairs.
