Fannie & Freddie Delaying New Refinance Surcharge Until 12/1/10
FHFA about two weeks ago proposed an "adverse market" refinance fee of .5% of the loan amount to begin on 9/1 for all refi mortgages back by Frannie or Freddie. The WSJ's Andrew Ackerman minutes ago reported that the FHFA is standing down, delaying this surcharge until 12/1.
Get your refis in soon! Good news there's still time to avoid this clear money grab.

@Paul Shannon you just saved me a phone call to my lender. In the middle of a refi on my personal home and was worried I was going to get caught in the cash grab myself!
