2009 FHA Jumbo update - 2nd appraisal Requirements

New for 2009 with FHA Jumbo Loans are some changes to the second appraisal requirements for FHA Jumbo Loans.

In 2008, the threshold for FHA Jumbo loans that require a second appraisal was those loans greater than $362,800 in 2008. The new Threshold for FHA Jumbo Loans requiring a second appraisal for 2009 is $417,000. All FHA Loans $417,001 and above still require the second appraisal, yet this modernization of FHA allows those loans falling between $362,800 and $417,000 to be completed with a single FHA appraisal.

This holds true for FHA Jumbo Purchase Loans, FHA Jumbo Refinance Loans, and non-credit qualifying FHA Jumbo Streamline Refinance loans. FHA Jumbo Streamline Refinance loans are available with NO appraisal required as long as we credit qualify the loan.

FHA Cash out Refinances over 85% LTV also require a second appraisal, regardless of Loan amount.

The maximum guaranty amount (available for loans over $144,000) is 25 percent of the 2009 VA Limit shown below. Therefore, a veteran with full entitlement available may borrow up to the 2009 VA Limit shown below and VA will guarantee 25 percent of the loan amount.
