flag PMI rates drop to 0.4%, easing financial strain for homebuyers with smaller down payments.

flag Private mortgage insurance (PMI) rates have dropped to about 0.4% of the loan amount, making it less of a financial burden for homebuyers who put down less than 20% on a home. flag PMI protects the lender, not the borrower, and is a temporary expense that lenders must cancel when the mortgage balance reaches 78% of the home's original value or halfway through the loan term, whichever comes first. flag With home prices at record highs, PMI has become a more attractive option for many buyers who struggle to save for a 20% down payment.
