I'm not sure if this is true or not...does fnma fhlmc consider the entire state a decining market or is it the lender(s)/ mortgage insurers?

I have the GSE list at the office so I'm not sure if the agencies are considering the state or just some counties, but I do know that it is MGIC that initiated the "entire state" declining market. CA, AZ & FL are ALL declining states according to them, even if the GSE's have not indicated the county/zip to be declining.
Also, depending on the lender, they too can delegate the entire state or just particular zones for declining markets.

Regarding Florida, the issue is what is taken into consideration related to a declining market. If you calculate it from year to year then yes. However, if you calculate it from month to month it's a totally different story. From my understanding they calculate a declining market from a six month valuation model.
