It's still 3.5%, and although there's been talk about it increasing, I don't see it happening anytime soon.. however if your interested in purchasing a new home, then you better get moving now.. property values are on the rise, as well as interest rates.. .. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com

No, but in early June the FHA mortgage insurance is being changed to say in effect for the life of the loan. This could be very costly over time. If you are looking to purchase using FHA try to do so in the next 30 days.

Not yet, but there is some chatter about raising the minimum down payment. If you're looking to buy, I would do it sooner rather than later because interest rates will not stay at this level much longer, plus FHA MIP costs are increasing in June.

It depends on your FICO score - it's 10% if your score is 580 or lower.
