**30 year fixed FHA rates available  at 4.25% 




FHA Rates are determined by pricing and yeilds on Ginnie Mae Mortgage Backed Securities.  Simply put these are bond issues comprised of FHA Mortgages.  Here we will refer to these mortgage backed securities as Ginnie Mae/FHA so as not to be confused with other types of mortgage backed securities comprised of different types of mortgage loans.

There are various Ginnie Mae/FHA Mortgage Backed Security coupons being traded daily and they are 4.0 coupon, 4.5 coupon, 5.0 coupon, 5.5 coupon, and the 6.0 coupon.  These investments are traded just like regular stocks and bonds on Wall Street.  The buying and selling of these Mortgage Backed Securities will determine how secondary pricing deparments will determine current daily pricing at various rates. 








When traders start buying up Ginnie Mae/FHA Mortgage Backed Securities the price increases and the yeild decreases. This will typically spur the secondary pricing departments at various lenders accross the county to increase the pricing at a particular rate, or improve rates.  The actions they take depends on the net price increases on the underlying Ginnie Mae/FHA Mortgage Backed Securities at a particular coupon rate. 

The opposite is also true when traders start selling off Ginnie Mae or FHA  Mortgage Backed Securites forcing secondary to decrease pricing on delivery of a particular FHA  Rate, or increase FHA Rates.  Again, their actions depend on the net price decreases on the underlying Ginnie Mae/FHA Mortage Backed Securites at a particular coupon rate.

Jeff, what are the points on the 30 year fixed fha rates for today? My score is 645 and I am being told that this raises the rate by .25% Is this true with your company? Do you think rates will go lower from here based on these FHA mortgage backed securities? thanks, Audrey.

HI Audrey, there are no points for the 30 year fixed at 4.875%. The credit score below 660 will incur an additional charge that is equal to .25% of the loan amount. FHA has been tightening up on credit scoring over the last 6 months and the secondary market is requiring credit score adjustments on all FHA loans. The underlying mortgage backed securities for FHA loans have broken through a ceiling, or layer of resistance, for higher prices and lower yields. My guess is rates remain stable or possibly increase slightly as we are now at all time lows on the FHA 30 year fixed rate. Please let me know if you have any other questions or go to http://www.mychartermtg.com/instructions.html and apply online. Please reference that you commented on my blog for a discount on closing costs. thanks.
