Tight Lending Requirements and Credit Scores

by Liz Warren

Now that housing is starting to stand on its wobbly legs after years of uncertainty, Lawrence Yun, chief economist of NAR, the National Association of Realtors, is asking for some loosing up on lending standards to keep this housing recovery on its way.

You can see that most recent loans only go to buyers with the most stellar credit.  In 2011, around 75% of loans purchased by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, had credit scores of 740 or above!

Credit Scores are high for buyers
