Yes, PMI may be canceled in certain circumstances.
Automatic Termination
If you’re required to carry PMI, we’ll cancel it automatically when your loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is scheduled to reach 78%. The LTV ratio is the difference between the loan amount and the original market value of the home.
LTV Example: If you borrow $88,000 to buy a house valued at $100,000, your loan-to-value ratio is 88%. ($88,000 /$100,000 = 0.88, or 88%).
Based on the original home value, we’ll project the date when your LTV will reach 78%, and we’ll plan to cancel your PMI on that date.
Early Cancellation
You can request early cancellation of PMI before the automatic cancellation date. Each mortgage investor has different requirements for canceling PMI early.
- In most cases, the property must reach at least an 80% LTV.
- If you obtained your loan less than two years ago, your investor may require a list of substantial improvements to evaluate the PMI cancellation request. You must have a description of the improvement, the date it occurred, and the associated cost.
- A home valuation may be required to determine your equity amount. The cost of the valuation will be your responsibility. We will let you know if a valuation is required along with the costs and steps to have the valuation completed.
- You must be current on your loan payments. You cannot have been more than 30 days past due in the last year or more than 60 days past due in the last two years.
Requirements can vary, so the best way to get the right information for your account is to contact us. We'll be happy to walk you through the steps.
