GSE's Eliminate Declining Market Category

Previously, Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac required larger down payments (5% vs 3%) for areas that they designated "declining markets", but they are dropping this classification, claiming that their improves underwriting systems make it unnecessary.

As a cynic, my guess what really happened is that they've discovered that most of the US is now a "declining market".
