Fannie Mae eases up on condo guidelines - Las Vegas mortgages for condominiums

Fannie Mae eases up on condo guidelines - Las Vegas mortgages for condominiumsThe GSE - or Government-sponsored Enterprise - is one of the key participants in the secondary mortgage market, helping finance single-family houses and condominiums under the banner of conforming conventional home loans. During this housing downturn it has suffered some scary losses - who hasn't - and as a result has tightened its underwriting guidelines. The condo segment has been under a really tight watch during the last few years.

Now, however, Fannie Mae is initiating a fresh approach to make more condominiums eligible for its mortgage programs. It starts doing that only in Florida at this point, a state where the condo market has been badly mauled. It has set up a team of real estate experts there to carefully study projects statewide that thus far haven't met Fannie Mae's eligibility criteria and see if they now satisfy them. The process leads to a "Special Approval" designation, if successful. They are zeroing in on owner occupancy levels, financial stability of the development, association dues and the property's overall condition, among other things. If a project passes this closer scrutiny, lenders can then originate and deliver mortgages backed by units there to Fannie Mae.

Condo developments judged to be eligible after these reviews are then listed on www.eFannieMae.com. Florida was chosen because the GSE wants to help the state turn around its shell-shocked condominium sector - by many opinions the hardest-hit in the entire nation - and aiming to give it two fresh legs to stand on. By the way, the Special Approval designation can only be stamped on an established project.  

Las Vegas condo projects are enviously watching how this Fannie Mae mortgage initiative works out over there. The volume here isn't quite the same but nevertheless Southern Nevada condominium sales have just about stalled altogether for lack of financing options. The luxury segment on the Strip and around town has been hurt the worst, leaving thousands of units vacant, with prices dropping and barely any buyers in sight.

If Fannie Mae's program proves halfway successful, it'll predictably be expanded and then Las Vegas real estate market may get some needed attention, giving condo buyers here new mortgage opportunities to complete their purchases.
