"I think if we see anything under 12 percent, that'll be the magic number," she said. "Anything over 12 percent is difficult for most people." Linda Forrey, head of the board's single-family housing program, said the rate is probably the lowest mortgage rate available in the United States and is the lowest the board itself has offered in three years. She said "phones have been ringing -off the hook" for the past few days a as lenders and would-be home buyers heard reports that the board might offer 10.5 percent loans.

The board was able to obtain the low rate because the housing board's creidt rating in the national bond market is "incredible," Forrey said. Both major Wall Street bond rating firms give the board an AA rating, she said. The clamor for the loans in the Missoula area could signal a turnaround in that city's economy, Forrey said, while the low interest in Butte reflects that city's high unemployment and bleak economic future. The loans will be available to home buyers with incomes as high as $38,500, depending on the number of dependents. The loans may be used for new houses costing up to $70,000 or existing homes valued up to $65,000.

Because of the income ceilings, homeowners in the past have found it difficult to qualify for loans they could afford. But with the rate, it should be easy to find qualifying buyers. A $29,000 income is needed to qualify for a percent loan on a $62,000 house, if the buyer's other debts are low. Such a loan would require a monthly payment of about $650, including taxes and insurance. In the past, loans were available only to first-time home buyers.

This year, the FHA has exempted energy-impact areas from that restriction. In Montana, exceptions will be made for people who live in Great Falls and the counties of Yellowstone, Custer, Dawson, Deer Lodge, Flathead, Lincoln, Mineral, Missoula, Richland, Rosebud, Silver and Silver Bow. The loans can be assumed by another buyer, as long as the new buyer meets the orginal requirements. Tax 20 farmland years.
