Private mortgage insurers are coming back to the market, the Los Angeles Times reports, even as the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is pulling back.
Private insurers had almost completely left the sector. Last year, the Times reported, the FHA insured roughly 30 percent of low-down-payment (less than 20 percent down) single-family loans; 10 percent would be considered appropriate. The FHA has also raised down-payment requirements on insured loans.
The move by the private insurers, though, signals increased confidence about the economy, the Times notes.
