FHA mortgages are becoming popular again because borrowers can no longer get home loans with a zero percent down payment, most banks are once again requiring a 20 percent down payment. Some banks also require a down payment of more than 20 percent for jumbo mortgages.

With a FHA home loan you can  finance up to 97% of the purchase price of a home. Lending standards have tightened again because of the housing bust so folks have naturally looked towards these home loans again. A three percent down payment is very appealing, especially to first time home buyers.
