According to the National Association of Realtors the Federal Housing Administration is key to the housing market recovery process.

With the collapse of many major banks the FHA has come into the fold as the primary source of financing for millions of Americans looking to purchase a home.

Over the past 18 months, FHA has handled an increase in volume four times greater than 2007 levels, increasing its market share to over 30 percent. Also the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has made a number of important and valuable changes to FHA over the years that has enabled it to stand up to the challenges of today’s mortgage market

FHA has handled its role and volume increase well, for instance in utilizing the $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit to allow buyers to apply it toward downpayment requirements. This has helped bring much stability to the national real estate market.
