The HARP Program
The Home Affordable Refinance Program is available through December 2013 and allows home owners to refinance into low mortgage interest rates even if they're property value has gone down.
Because many homes have lost value over the last several years, many homeowners have been unable to refinance. Traditionally, mortgage lenders require a significant amount of equity (or value over mortgage balance) to approve a mortgage refinance.
The HARP program was designed to allow eligible borrower's with a loan owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac to refinance, regardless of the current home value.
