At times yes. The new HARP program currently allows refinances on properties up to 125% of their value. After March of 2012 once FNMA and Freddie Mac have updated their automated underwriting engines, lenders may go above and beyond 125%. Each lender may put their own additional rules on top of these rules too. Depending on the lender, your loan must be owned by FNMA or Freddie Mac to be eligible for HARP. Call your lender and ask who owns your loan or use the FNMA look up tool on-line. If your loan is owned by Freddie Mac, it also has it's own look up tool, it's harder finding a HARP lender. As always there are criteria to be eligible for HARP and if you have a second mortgage or HELOC, they have to be receptive to the HARP program too. Best of luck to you.
