A Note on This Week's Reverse Mortgage Rates: February 9, 2010

As the Federal Reserve is closed this week due to inclement weather, reverse mortgage rates will remain the same this week as last week. However, the Wall Street Journal announced that the one month LIBOR is now at .228, which would be a decline from the previous week. Hopefully this change will not be reversed next week.

Bank of America Discontinues LIBOR 275

Bank of America announced last week that it was discontinuing offering the LIBOR 275 reverse mortgage product, leaving Bank of America offering only the LIBOR 225 and the LIBOR 250. The change can be seen in light of recent legislation (and proposed legislation) to ensure that borrowers are not pushed into loans with unfavorable terms by brokers seeking more compensation. It will be extremely interesting to see if other lenders follow suit.
