Nonconforming Guidelines are out, changes coming for Private/Wealth reports.
|
Thank you to everyone who took the time to meet at the MBA Secondary conference in New York. It is always great to put faces with the names, and to see others who I normally only see through the computer screen.<br/>
<br/>
<b>Nonconforming Underwriting</b>: Spring 2025 report is out! We’ve seen more lenders extend their jumbo programs up to 89.99% LTV, some new higher loan amounts on interest only products, and many updates on DTI and reserves.<br/>
<br/>
<b>Private Bank/Wealth Reporting</b>: Conforming products are now available for our Private Bank and Wealth Management rate surveys. This was an interesting roll out as many wealth lenders will have just one program, others will have an agency specific private/wealth agency product, and others will overlay their AUM incentives over a standard conforming product. Reach out to us if you have any questions or would like to enhance your report with more products. More news to come with some interesting updates in the queue for Private Wealth reporting.<br/>
<br/>
<b>Special Purpose Credit Programs</b> are back on the menu and reports are out. It’s an interesting time for this report and we’ve seen a few lenders pull their programs, while other are making changes and expanding to new MSAs.<br/>
