WHY THE NEW MORTGAGE STANDARDS MATTER
Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage For consumers who are considering purchasing a new home, questions will certainly arise about financing. How much can I afford? What mortgage products are available? Which type of loan will work best for me given my income and financial situation? What is the difference between being pre-qualified and pre-approved for a loan? These are all questions that are likely to be asked. Obtaining proper guidance about mortgage loans has become even more important in recent years as mortgage lending standards have tightened, making it more challenging for home purchasers to go through the mortgage qualification process. But the housing market received a boost recently when federal regulators made some significant changes to mortgage rules that housing experts predict will make it easier for qualified homebuyers to access financing. Regulators agreed to drop a proposed requirement that borrowers make a 20% down payment to qualify for a low-interest, high-quality mortgage. This is welcome news for homebuyers in many markets who despite having strong credit scores and stable employment would find it difficult to save for a large down payment. The new rules ensure that “responsible homebuyers have access to safe and affordable credit,” according to the National Association of Realtors. The National Association of Home Builders also praised the new rules saying they would “help ease tight credit conditions for borrowers and reduce future defaults without punishing responsible borrowers and lenders.” If you need financing to purchase a property, it is prudent to consult with a Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage affiliated real estate professional before beginning the home search. Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage has affiliated partnerships with mortgage lenders and a sales associate can quickly connect you with an experienced loan advisor who can assist you.
