Quad Cities Mortgage Company Signals Good News for First Time Home Buyers with Lower Credit Scores
May 10, 2023
May 10, 2023 - /PressAdvantage/ - Quad Cities, IA, mortgage broker John Cornish is clearing the air on the recent changes set to impact mortgage rates based on the applicant’s credit score.
According to the recent LLPAs (Loan-Level Price Adjustments) enforced by the Biden administration, starting May 1, homebuyers across the United States with higher credit scores will see their monthly payments increase. The change is intended to subsidize mortgages for those with lower credit scores by increasing costs for the former. Moreover, those with a lower credit score and a lower downpayment can now also get access to better mortgage rates.
John Cornish took to his YouTube channel to explain what the changes mean for first-time homebuyers in the Quad Cities area by saying, “Loan-Level Price Adjustments are changes to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac based on the preferred interest rate that customers will have to pay for different things. So, as a real-world example, a 740 to 759 credit score homebuyer with 80 to 85% down is going to pay 0.75% more in fees and a lower than 639 credit score homebuyer with less than 5% down is going to get a 1.75% improvement.”
In the YouTube video, John even shares the complete price adjustments matrix that details the upcoming change in rates based on credit score and downpayment percentage. The changes will have no impact on FHA and VA mortgages and are also not applicable to certain programs within Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
“Does this mean,” John asks as he further clarifies, “that it is now cheaper for a 639 with 3% down homebuyer to secure a mortgage than a 740 to 759 homebuyer with 80% to put down? No. It means that the change in the two has drastically come closer. So, we are shortening the gap. The benefits for those people who have a higher credit score and more money down are going to be a lot less than they used to be. At the same time, it’ll be more affordable for people with lower credit scores and less money down to get approved.”

Will diversifying fuel imports be enough to fix Indonesia’s energy shortfall?
Indonesia is looking beyond Singapore for petrol supplies as it seeks to reduce its dependence on a single source, but analysts say diversifying imports will do little to address the country’s fuel production shortfall without faster refinery modernisation and investment in alternative fuels.
