The Buzz is a regular summary of housing market news and data driving our decision-making at BlueBid.
Here's the Buzz for the week of November 13, 2025:
Fannie Mae is doing away with its minimum credit score of 620, and Newsweek examines the ramifications for the mortgage market.
USA Today says it's no longer a seller's market. Unfortunately, many sellers haven't gotten the memo.
National Mortgage News observes foreclosures on the rise for the 8th consecutive month, as the total number of filings has risen 19% in the past 12 months.
It's not all bad news for sellers and homeowners, however, as HousingWire reports a recent 15.6% year-over-year rise in pending sales.
Mortgage rates are now bouncing sideways following the relief of September/October and the Fed's recent reset, according to Zillow.
We're seeing a robust seller pipeline, as there are currently more than 23,000 pre-market homes on BlueBid.
Have a great week.
