Notice: Rate Relief Mortgage Program Funds Exhausted
Due to overwhelming demand, all available funds for the MSHDA Rate Relief Mortgage Program have been fully committed. MSHDA is now operating from a waitlist and will allocate funds to those on the list as additional resources become available.
We appreciate your interest in this first-of-its-kind program, which has helped make homeownership more affordable for hundreds of Michigan families.
What is the Rate Relief Mortgage?
The MSHDA Rate Relief Mortgage will be a game-changer for Michigan families. It’s a first-of-its kind new mortgage loan that drives down the mortgage interest rate for eligible first-time homebuyers by a full percentage point. This would not be possible if not for the partnership of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis.
The FHLBank Indianapolis is purchasing a $50 million bond issued by MSHDA. The proceeds from the sale will support hundreds of single-family mortgage loans at below-market rates, provided the buyer finances their purchase with a MSHDA-approved lender that is also a FHLBank Indianapolis member institution. This will make homeownership more accessible and affordable for hundreds of lower-income Michigan home buyers making 80% or less of Area Median Income. Saving first-time homebuyers a full percentage point on their mortgages will make a big difference and help more families make it in Michigan.
At the time this program was established, MSHDA’s current market rate with DPA was 6.375; through this program, the rate would drop to 5.375%. On a $150k home purchase, about the average MSHDA mortgage, this new lower interest rate reduces the mortgage payment by about $100 a month – that’s $1200 a year.
Interested first-time homebuyers can get more information at their local lending institution. Current FHLBI Member institutions that are also MSHDA participating Lenders are listed below. There are dozens across Michigan, offering mortgages in all 83 counties. FHLBank Indianapolis members can find more details on the Bank’s MemberLink portal as well as through direct member communications.
