Low-Cost Housing Boom Expected
If Lenders Accept New Pay Plan
Washington W Housing
industry officials today forecast
a possible low-cost housing boom
if 'lenders " accept the new low
federal floor on down payments.
At the same time, the Fed
eral Housing administration
faced a full congressional investi
gation because of the boost in
mortgage interest rates that ac
companied the down payment
cuts.
The Eisenhower administra
tion Monday authorized a 25
to 57 per cent reduction in mini
mum required down payments
and a V per cent boost in in
terest rates on government-insured
FHA loans. The move aim
ed at putting new life in the
lagging housing industry.
The new regulations means
that for the first time in history
a man can buy a $14,000 home
with a down payment as small
as $900 under the FHA pro
gram. Monday he would have
had to put down at least $1,700.
But there are two possible
hitches: ;
The man has to find a
lender willing to pass out mort
gage money on the new low
down payment terms.
Interest rates probably will
be higher now on the mortgage
regardless of the down payment
required.
Must Wait and See
Industry officials said the
new regulations probably will
not mean any building upsurge
this year because of the time
lag in setting up housing pro
jects. However, they said if the reg
ulations bring out more mort
gage money into the market a
low-cost housing boom is pos
sible. V
George S. Goodyear, National
Association of Home Builders
president, said the reduced down
payments "could be the most
significant step forward the
FHA has made since its estab
lishment in 1934."
The move was opposed by
important sections of the admin
istration the tight money
proponents in the Treasury De-,
partment, Budget Bureau, Fed-1
eral Reserve Board and the
President's Council of Economic
advisers. They argued that the
lower down payments would be
inflationary.
Moreover, some officials ques
tioned the impact of the move
on the housing market since
less than 30 per cent of all mort
gages come under the FHA and
GI loan guarantee programs.
Under the new regulations,
which are effective immediately,
the down payment schedule is
3 per cent of the first $10,000
of the mortgage; 15 per cent of
the next $6,000 and 30 per cent
of anything over that up to a
limit of $30,000.
The old requirement was 5
per cent of the first $9,000 and
25 per cent on anything above
that up to a ceiling of $20,000.
The government also clamp
ed restrictions on "discounting

Cole said FHA discount rates
will be permitted to vary re

be no larger than 2l2 per cent
