| Just received word, as per SunTrust, that Fannie will be cutting back seller's assist from 6% to 3% on ltv's greater then 97.01%. This is just what we need, a new restriction to help cool the booming housing market! |

Just received a notice from SunTrust, who are making the new guideline effective on November 29th. My SunTrust contact indicates this will be for all Fannie My Communities shortly. Anybody else confirm this? |

| Not surprising with everything that is going on in the industry. Lenders want to see a personal investment from the homebuyers to make it harder to walk away if the home values continue to decrease. TGIF..... Thanks for the post! |

| This sounds like an investor guideline change and not a change by the agency... We are still doing 6% seller contributions and we deliver to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. |
