Forget Politics, Many States, Counties, and Cities Are In Trouble
Beginning November 15, Fannie Mae will eliminate its 620 minimum credit score requirement for purchase and refinance loans, following Freddie Mac’s example. Its Desktop Underwriter (DU) system will now assess borrower risk using internal data models rather than FICO scores, though credit reports remain required.
At the same time, MGIC will start accepting credit scores as low as 600 for borrowers with less than 20% down, potentially broadening mortgage access.
Freddie Mac reports current average rates of 6.22% for 30-year fixed and 5.5% for 15-year fixed loans, with mortgage applications down 1.9% week over week.
Fannie Mae’s update may make homeownership more accessible for borrowers with limited credit histories, marking a move toward data-driven credit evaluations.
