As I write to you this morning I’m having trouble remembering the last time we had good news coming out of the mortgage industry.
…and this morning comes another tid bit from Fannie Mae that I would have to put into the “bad” category.
As of April 1st of 2014 Fannie is increasing their loan level pricing adjustments on their loans.
For instance, prior to this date if you had a 740 credit score, and you were getting a 95% loan Fannie’s pricing hit was 0.25%. In April of 2014 this same loan hit would go to 1.50%.
…Did I hear you say “ouch”?
Yes, that merits an “ouch”.
The end result will be higher rates for everyone. …and fewer loans being done thru Fannie Mae.
On another note – Fed meeting today. Could be a market mover. …will watch if for ya.
That’s it for today!
Have a good day today! …and thanks for reading.
