CREDIT AVAILABILITY FOR Access to credit remains tight, especially for lower FICO borrowers. The median FICO for current purchase loans is about 32 points higher than the pre-crisis level of around 700. The 10th percentile, which represents the lower bound of creditworthiness to qualify for a mortgage, fell to 641 inMarch 2019 compared to low-600s pre-bubble. The median LTV at origination of 95 percent remains relatively high, reflecting the rise of FHA and VA lending. Although current median DTI of 40 percent exceeds the pre-bubble level of 36 percent, higher FICO scores serve as a strong compensating factor.
