From my perspective, this is usually a sign of one of 2 things: 1) a market in repair where banks are starting to loosen things because they feel more comfortable with stability in the market or 2) banks are desperate for more business/volume so they are underwriting risky loans to keep volume flowing.The timing of some of these coming back and the very slow roll outs right now feel like cautious optimism that the market is showing signs of stabilizing, and there has been a decent amount of positive tailwind data (for mortgages, not necessarily for the economy); between slight increases in unemployment and reported slight decreases in inflation.

Seeing this everywhere, and rents are decreasing because people just can't afford the payments.
