No.  It has no relevance in our great country.  The only HUD news I follow is to answer the question "What is one type of career that a retired surgeon can have that is completely unrelated to his prior career?"

Yes, saw this the other day in a RESPA newsletter.  Won't help anyone under contract now with a closing prior unless the Seller would be willing to extend and that would take some doing....  

For new contracts definitely something to keep in mind.
