Daily TBWS Market Report - 1/21/11

Real Estate Agent with Century 21 Birchwood Realty, Inc.

 Good Morning...Here is today's market update from the Think Big Work Small Guys. Today the boys have a very interesting discussion on new lenders compensation rule.  On December 16th the Mortgage Banking Association sent a letter to Ben Bernanke and the Sandra Bronstein, of the Federal Reserve, asking for clarification on the Loan Officers Compensation Rule which is open to blurred interpretations in many areas.  This is forcing lenders to be very conservative in their actions, and will lead to higher fees for consumer.  This rule leaves lenders fearful to move forward since they don't know what the tolerance threshold is, and is hindering home ownership which in turn is hurting our recovery.  This call for clarification is backed by The Office of Advocacy established by Congress to represent the views of small business entities and requires rules and guidlines be spelled out in plain english.  By not complying the Federal Reserve is working outside the law.

The pendulum has swung so far from the no doc loans that it is paralyzing the borrower because of fear on the lender's part.  Crazy times.

Thanks for the comments.  I love the TBWS guys too although sometimes I have to listen to them twice to understand just what they said.
