Every day I read news on Mortgage Rates getting better but is it really.  This week they are saying it's lower than last week but what they are falling to say is that it's getting better for people with over 700 credit score. As we all know the average borrower do not have over 700 score.  Gone are the days that borrowers with 580 score can get a 100% percent loans.  The score requirements for loans have increase therefore the interest rates for lower scores have increase. So I pose the Question are rates really getting better

not for anyone in the sub prime market.

 the rates arent getting worse but the guidelines are getting strict.

 as you can see many sub prime lenders have either gone out of business, made it very difficult to get 100% or just done away w 100% products to lower their risks.

 

there are still some that are aggressive in sub prime 106% lending. First Franklin still does. 600 fico score. but Delta no longer does, WMC does not, Freemont and new century are gone........

Yes, guidelines have changed.  It behooves all buyers to work on getting their credit scores on higher ground.

Yes and because guideline have gotten tougher it take a higher score to get those rates.  That's all I am saying.

i.e.  if last week you could get a 6.5 with a 660 it now takes a 680 because of the guideline change on the same program, DTI and LTV
