Are Home Mortgage Credit Issues Beginning to Ease?
According to Fannie Mae's first quarter 2015 Mortgage Lender Sentiment Survey, more lenders say the credit tightening is softening, and that they expect demand to increase.
It has been several months now since FNMA, FMAC and FHA all made significant changes in their loan programs aimed at making it easier to get a home loan. FNMA and FMAC are now offering low downpayment programs and less stringent credit requirements, and FHA lowered their mortgage insurance premiums.
