The credit standards for FHA insured loans have been tightened by some banks like Wells Fargo and Bank of America. The minimum credit scores required to qualify for FHA loans has been raised to 640 by these banks. It is expected that this rule will have severe effect in the recovery of the housing market. With the coming of this new rule around 6.3 million people won't be able to buy homes as they may be having a lower score than the required one.
