Realtors Agenda Regarding Credit

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Kingstowne/Alexandria, VA Office

I was looking for an article on the WSJ website regarding a potential double dip in the Housing Market due to the number of foreclosures on the horizon and ran across this article about the National Association of Realtors pushing to have credit relaxed especially on commercial properties. I think the pendulum has swung too far in the wrong direction. We have gone in residential from giving a loan to "anyone who can fog a mirror" to no one get s a loan without near 100% perfect credit, low low debt , and nice chunk of a down payment. A fair in between would be something in between. I am not involved in commercial but it you are you may find this article of interest. I think it overall applies to all mortgage loans.

Thanks for the post.  I completely agree.  The financing climate has gone from one extreme to the other.

I don't know what NAR sits up there and thinks but it can't be about much. That woudl be another disaster waiting to happen.
