HUD Cuts FHA Mortgage Insurance Premiums
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is reducing annual premiums for mortgage insurance for 30-year fixed mortgages by a quarter of a percent, a move praised by NAR that will save borrowers hundreds of dollars a year on average. "Dropping mortgage insurance premiums will mean a lot more responsible borrowers are eligible to purchase a home through FHA," said NAR President Bill Brown. "That puts more money in the fund to protect taxpayers, and it puts more families in homes so they can live out the American dream."

NAR Moves Toward Single Sign-on
On Jan. 17, NAR is rolling out a new sign-in experience at nar.realtor (formerly realtor.org) and the new Member Center (membercenter.realtor). It's the first phase of single sign-on (SSO), which will enable visitors to use the same user name and password across NAR web properties. NAR partnered with Auth0 to provide members with the most secure authentication process available today. Visitors who are already registered at nar.realtor will continue to use their existing login information. New visitors will need to register using their NRDS ID or using the guest login. Once registered, members will be able to use the same login on any of the NAR SSO-enabled sites. Registered members can even choose to use their Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn credentials. Concurrent with the Jan. 17 launch, members will be able to learn more about SSO at
www.nar.realtor/topics/from-the-nar-web-team.
