Good News for Foreclosure Victims

June 4, 2015 By Geoffrey Disch Leave a Comment

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) is reporting that the use of new credit-scoring models could greatly help borrowers who lost their homes during the foreclosure crisis to buy again. Of the 9.3 million homeowners who lost their homes to foreclosure, nearly 1 million have been able to purchase a home again. These “boomerang” buyers are seen as crucial to the housing market by many analysts as they could add 1.5 million buyers to the market over the next five years.

Of course, poor credit profiles and stricter lending practices will continue to bar many from buying but the hope is that the new credit-scoring models could improve some borrowers’ access to credit. Specifically, the new models produce higher credit scores for those with unpaid medical bills as well as factoring in a would-be buyer’s rental payment history.

The question remains as to whether lenders will accept these new credit-scoring models but for now at least, there’s hope for many to “get back in the game.”

Our clients say...

“I’ve been in this industry for over 20 years. I have seen both fantastic and just “ok” escrow officers. The Escrow Officer and her team are typically the last stop for a borrower during the purchase or refinance transaction. You want that person and team to be personable, professional and helpful to your client. Kathy and her team at Green Escrow has surpassed my expectations. The team has gone the extra mile to ensure my file closed on time and without incident. I’m looking forward to continued success with Green Escrow.””
