A $1 Trillion Opportunity?
It's been called the “$1 trillion opportunity.”
Currently, the housing market is paralyzed. Homeowners are left out of the market due to a lack of inventory or—even worse—can’t access it due to outdated credit scoring models that exclude them. Recent VantageScore research found an estimated $1 trillion of pent-up growth potential in the form of borrowers who have historically been left out of homeownership opportunities due to unfairly restrictive, decades-old scoring models. But that's all changing with the implementation of VantageScore 4.0 for mortgages funded by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Anthony Hutchinson is Senior Vice President of Industry and Government Relations at VantageScore. Tony joins The SCORE this week to help lenders understand the importance of implementation and plan their migration to VantageScore 4.0.
