GSE purchase-mortgage volume with private MI held up a little better on a quarterly basis than GSE business without private MI in the first quarter of 2026. (Includes three data tables.)

FHFA Director Bill Pulte said 21 large lenders will roll out the new score with the GSEs, though all lenders are eligible. FHA also plans to accept VantageScore and FICO 10T.

Industry watchers believe the abruptly cancelled FHFA/HUD press conference was tied to implementation of VantageScore 4.0.
