An article by Krista Franks Brock shown in DSNews.com indicates that 2012 could be the year the housing crisis ends. One reason could be the loosening of lending by the major banks. If you have a credit score of 700 or better your chances of obtaining a mortgage are very good.
Some market indicators show that the mortgage lending standards are not only stabilizing but there is a loosening of credit availability. At the low point in the lending crisis banks were only willing to lend 2.3 times a borrower’s earnings, now they are lending up to 3.5 times what is being earned.
The clearest sign of improvement in the mortgage credit conditions is that banks are also loosening their loan-to-value ratios (LTV). Capital Economics agrees this action is the clearest sign yet of an improvement to come. The low of 74 percent in the mid-2010 that banks were lending is now at 84 percent LTV.
Unfortunately other factors, such as potential homebuyers still struggling with credit requirements and the euro-zone still posing a threat to future credit availability, could still cause the credit conditions to improve more slowly.
