Definition

Original Loan to Value Ratio: The LTV ratio, expressed as a percentage is obtained by dividing the amount of the Loan at origination by the value of the property.

Notes

This field is calculated by dividing the original loan amount by either

  • (1) in the case of a purchase, the lower of the sales price of a mortgaged property or its value at the time of the sale, or
  • (2) in the case of a refinancing, the value of the mortgaged property at the time of refinancing.


For the purposes of calculating the LTV ratio and determining eligibility for a mortgage loan acquired through a HARP refinancing, an appraisal is not required if Fannie Mae waived the property fieldwork requirements to establish program eligibility.

The disclosed LTV ratio for that loan is based on an estimate of value produced by an automated valuation model at the time of the refinance.

Alternatively, if Fannie Mae did not waive the property fieldwork requirements, an appraisal can be provided to Fannie Mae by the lender to establish program eligibility.

When an appraisal is obtained and is used to successfully establish HARP program eligibility, it is used to calculate the disclosed LTV ratio. Value is reported as null if LTV is >97% or is >200% for a mortgage loan acquired through a HARP refinance, or unknown.
