UUUUUGE

->Rent payments now count — FHFA (the mortgage boss) told Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac lenders can use credit scores that include your on-time rent and utility payments when deciding who gets a mortgage. Old credit scoring basically ignored rent, so this moves the needle for people without big credit histories.
->New scoring tools in play — Instead of just old FICO, lenders can use things like VantageScore and FICO 10T, which both look at rent/utility history if reported. That’s like letting your good rent habits help you get into homeownership instead of just credit cards and loans.
->Big potential impact — Freddie Mac already tested it with real loans, and officials say this could help tens of millions of potential buyers — especially renters with solid payment histories — qualify for mortgages they might’ve missed before.

"If you pay your rent on time, you are more likely to pay your mortgage on time," FHFA Director Bill Pulte said.

You will do better in Toledo

Mayor Kapszukiewicz is calling the news one of the biggest wins for the city in years.

Signs the spring market is starting:

1) mortgage rates have trended lower 3 straight weeks. 🔆
2) mortgage applications have ticked up about 3% 🚀
3) I heard a robin this morning 🐦🐦

Everything we've heard is that inventory will be UP this year which is good for everyone. Even with an increased buyer pool, the increase in inventory will help reduce the crazy multiple offer situations we've seen over the years.
