ALERT:
MBS At Highs. Potential Positive Reprices, But Limited by Event Risk
At 103-28 currently, Fannie 3.5's are up 13 ticks on the day, and sit at the highest prices since last Thursday. These gains are sufficient and have been held long enough to justify positive reprices under normal conditions. However, with tomorrow's looming Eurogroup phone call (yes, it WAS a meeting, but it's now a phone call. Well, to be fair, a "conference call!") lenders are potentially in a more conservative stance than they otherwise might be. The characteristically early-to-reprice crowd still might be out soon with positive reprices with additional lenders following the longer these gains are held or improved upon.
(update: first positive reprice reported while this alert was being typed).

Treasury: Geithner Before the Senate Finance Committee on the President's FY2013 Budget
"... Second, we must continue to work together to support the housing market, whose weakness is a stress on millions of families and a drag on overall growth. To this end, the President recently announced new policies designed to aid the housing market, including broad-based refinancing for responsible homeowners that would save the typical family $3,000 a year. We are also working with the FHA and FHFA to take a range of steps to improve access to mortgage credit, and the FHFA also recently launched a pilot program to convert foreclosed homes into rental properties."

Specifically the new one that states DTI ratios are not to be considered, just proof that income is earned? I have a borrower who is self-employed, conforming loan, clean credit and mortgage gistroy, but is 100% LTV and needs Du Refi plus program. However his DTI with his declared income is 63%. Have not run it thru DU yet to see what it says.
Any help on this?
