James - Many lenders are already limiting buyers to a debt-to-income ratio of 41% on the back end. FHA limits it to 43% on the back end. Personally, I feel that even those ratios are too high. People getting into homes that they can't afford was part of the problem we're in. We do need to get back to a sense of responsibility.

But in any case, buyers take heed - the longer you wait, the harder it will be for you to qualify for a home.

Change is happening and the clocks are turning back in financing like it was in the 60's.

Lewis:  Agreed.  Personal responsability has eluded many in these last few years.  I actually am glad that the guidelines are changing, but I felt it was necessary to share the info for those home buyers that may be borderline as it is.

Barb:  Yes, people may actually have to be able to afford something before they can buy it.
