Effective for all new registrations, maximum financing LTV/CLTV will be reduced by 5% for any transactions where the property falls in a declining market. A property is considered to be in a declining market if: · DU findings return messaging stating that the property is in a declining market, OR · Appraiser marked home values as "Declining" in the neighborhood section of the appraisal, OR
· The property is in one of the counties defined as being in a declining market. Example: Product: Agency 30-Year Fixed Purpose: Cash-out Refinance Location: Orange County, Florida Orange County, Florida is on Flagstar's Declining Markets list, so the declining market policy is in effect. Maximum financing for a transaction like this is typically 90% LTV for an owner-occupied, single-family residence without subordinate financing. Since the property is in a declining market, the maximum LTV is reduced to 85%.

I've noticed that it greatly depends on the lender on what method they use to determin if the subject property is in a declining market.
