Santa Rosa, CA -- (SBWire) -- 08/02/2010 -- The restoration of the single-family rural housing program ( http://www.fhasubmissions.com ) that would guarantee home loans for rural buyers was passed by the Senate today and is on its way to President Obama.
The National Association of Realtors® has vigorously lobbied to restore funding for the rural program since last March, and hailed this development as a great victory for rural home buyers.
"This is going to be a great lift for thousands of rural home buyers who need to close on their home purchases before Sept. 30 to take advantage of the home buyer tax credit," said NAR President Vicki Cox Golder, owner of Vicki L. Cox & Associates in Tucson, Ariz. "Many rural families would have been left out in the cold without these guaranteed loans. Increasing the commitment authority will help rural families, support local housing markets, create jobs and generate new tax revenues," Golder said.
"The rural housing program ( http://www.fhasubmissions.com ) is a good example of the kind of program needed for responsible and qualified home buyers who bring common sense to the housing market," said Golder. The legislation increases the guarantee fee for borrowers, but allows the fee to be financed. "This change will make the program completely self-sufficient," she said.
A home purchased through the USDA home loan guarantee program must be located in a qualified rural area. Qualified rural area is defined as open country places, and homes in cities with populations of 10,000 or less. Under certain conditions, the home may be located in towns and cities of 10,000 to 25,000 in population. If you have questions regarding whether a potential home is in a qualified area speak with a representative from a USDA Rural Development field office or one of the staff at Essex Mortgage Bank ( http://www.fhasubmissions.com ) toll free 1-877-870-2676.
