As others have said, this is for refinances. You bet your ass on new purchases that they will continue to be clamped down. I'd be surprised if they'd give anyone a loan without 10+% down payment right now. As it is they even have limits on who they are willing to help on underwater mortgages - 125% LTV, which given a lot of people's homes went down a lot more than 25%, cuts a lot of people out.

Low interest rates weren't the culprit. Stated income loans, certain ARMs and other shit they tried to specifically lure in people who couldn't afford a home with were the real culprits. It didn't help on the refi side that lenders were doing underhanded shit to get boosted appraisals done.
