flag Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac now allow ACV roof coverage, cutting insurance costs and boosting affordability.

flag The Federal Housing Finance Agency has eased mortgage insurance rules for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac-backed loans, allowing borrowers to use Actual Cash Value (ACV) coverage for roofs—lowering premiums and monthly payments. flag The change, effective immediately, applies only to roofs, with full Replacement Cost Value (RCV) still required for the rest of the home. flag It also simplifies condo insurance rules, including a $50,000 per-unit deductible and expanded waiver options, boosting affordability and access, especially in rural and high-risk areas. flag The move reverses a 2024 rule that mandated RCV-only coverage, drawing praise from industry groups and lawmakers for improving homeownership opportunities.
