<em>mr. mortgage comes through with the brick in the housing industry's window:</em><strong></strong>
<blockquote>
In CA (other states as well) due to mortgage insurer ?challenges?, the MINIMUM credit score required to do any loan (Fannie/Freddie included) over 80% is now 720 from the previous 620. I am not sure the percentage of folks with over 720 scores vs. under but regardless, this will take a massive number of people out of the market.</blockquote>

So even though FHA/Fannie is offering 5% down, only people with more than 720 (what, 5% or under?) score can do that.
The other 95% of <strong>buyers will now have to have 20% down to get a mortgage in the state/US</strong>
