this should definately motivate buyers and sellers...IF there looking to do FHA mortgages

It's not as shocking as the newscast makes it out to be. If your credit is in the low 600's you should expect things like this... High 600's is 3/4 of a point, that's really not going to stop anyone from buying a house.

The 'average' credit score is 678. So, half the people in the US have a higher score than that. I'm also willing to bet that the bottom 30%+ were never in the housing market to begin with. So, this maybe affects 20% of buyers.

The people with that "average " score are already in homes and already have great rates this going to do nothing but slow a already slow market

lmfao...dont believe what you read about credit scores !! Myself and everyone else out there doing any kind of lending would love for the average score to be 678. I run between 12 and 15 applications a day for both automotive and home purchases and the average score you mention is definately not the case.

The 680 doesn't surprise me as much as the 70% LTV. I would guess that a majority of the loans made exceed 70% thereby capturing the most income as possible.
FNMA/FHLMC is doing their utmost to recapitalize, sold prefered stock, cut dividends by 50%, but it's also another step in an otherwise tight housing credit market. Things will get tighter before it's over. I wonder how long before a class action by shareholders against FNMA/FHLMC |
