That may or may not be in the range of the median house price depending on how much new construction activity is going on in your market.

I'm seeing a more aggressive stance from what is being claimed by members here on BP, such as cash out refis after 6 months, it must be in areas where property values are going back up at a faster rate in general.On the conservative side, prudent lending practices will be stressed, meaning that a lender may not do so much of those "if it makes sense, we loan it" type deals, it may be tougher for a deal to make sense.All in all, I doubt a qualified borrower will see much of a difference on the street as the new changes will be played out in the operations side of the lenders and their relationships between other lenders and securitized markets.Actually there are more aggressive measures in making a loan, the debt to income for a residential loan has gone from 36% to 43% allowing borrowers to qualify with more debt!

My realtor has done the following (but not limited to) and he has me on the brink of relieving him of his duties:1) talked to other clients or realtors, or even held personal phone calls during a house viewing (more than once)2) told me that he shuts his phone off from December 24-Jan 23) Sometimes does not respond to calls/texts within 24 hours4) Didn't know what ARV meant when I used the acronym and then proceeded to say he never heard it called that before...Maybe I'm answering my own question, or maybe I'm being overly picky but usually I'm right about my gut instinct.

Listen to the podcasts and stay active/engaged on BP.
