WASHINGTON, D.C. – August 29, 2013 – (RealEstateRama) — National Association of Home Builders Chairman Rick Judson released the following statement regarding the FDIC’s release of the re-proposed credit risk retention rule:
The National Association of Home Builders is pleased that the federal regulators have revised the proposed credit risk retention rule, which includes the definition of a qualified residential mortgage (QRM). This proposed, updated rule is a positive step toward ensuring that credit-worthy home buyers have a better chance at securing affordable mortgage loans.
