Reverse Mortgage Margins on LOC Going Up This Week
Most reverse mortgage customers choose to work with a line of credit. They do this for multiple reasons, but that is for another article.
The point here is to inform you that, industry wide, the margins reverse mortgage companies charge will go up this week by, at the very minimum, 1/2 percent.
Perhaps you aren't clear on what a margin is? Well, allow me to inform. The banks and their investors charge a percentage inside the interest rate as their profit. This is margin.
The line of credit based on the constant maturity treasury index is what almost all borrowers of a reverse mortgages were using if the went forward with a reverse mortgage with a line of credit.
A couple of days ago the lender's marginal charge (banks profit) was 1.75%. The constant maturity treasury index rested at a .40%, the total of these is 2.15%. This would be the real rate of interest on the loan.
Fannie Mae (the organization who secures secondary loans) has now forewarned that the bank's margin will increase at least a half percent.
This won't necessarily hurt the borrowers profoundly. So far the rates have luckily been low enough to be under the Federal Housing Administration's lowest rate, which is what decides the amount of money that can be loaned to a borrower.
How much a senior is loaned and interest go hand in hand. A loan will be higher if the interest is lower. It goes the other way as well until the ground FHA rate is reached. Then any interest rate less than that rate will not make the loan higher.
We are luckily a good bit under the floor FHA rate, and the margin going up will not throw seniors above it. So if you were given a loan quote last week, it is still okay to go by that.
The higher marginal charge will deduct from the equity in the home more quickly. Yes, I just mentioned a negative of the reverse mortgage. But remember the senior won't be paying anyone, which is a huge plus.
So the bad news is interest is gathering against property equity. This increased marginal charge will just have it gather slightly faster.
