Fannie Mae has removed the minimum representative credit score requirement from Desktop Underwriter.
Translation in real life terms:
Your application won’t hinge on a single three-digit number anymore.

It does mean more flexibility.
And for buyers who felt sidelined because of one number… this could be the moment to revisit the conversation.
If you were told to “wait until your score improves,” it may be worth a second look.
