Good Old Fannie Mae Eases Waiting Period for Some Buyers

These changes actually are in effect for any buyers whose loan application dates are after August 16,2014.

Buyers with a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, new waiting period is 4 years. Time can be shortened to 2 years if the borrower can prove extenuating circumstances.

Buyer with a foreclosure new minimum wait is 7 years, possibly shortened to 3 for same reason as above.

BK you say? 4 years for chapter 7 or 11, possible 2. Chapter 13, wait now is 4 years from discharge date, may soften back to 2 as well with proven extenuating circumstances.

Previous policy wait was determined with the LTV ratios.

This should help move a few homes along.....or jump up prices with still reduced inventory.

Only time will tell!
