Testimony from both liberal and conservative housing industry observers questioned the Trump administration’s policy regarding the future of Fannie and Freddie.

Don Layton, under whose leadership Freddie rolled out the first CRT transaction in 2012, said cracks in the GSEs’ CRT programs expose them to systemic risks. The cure: a new capital rule.

Enhancements to CRT disclosures introduce three new fields and modify one existing field.

Freddie markets multifamily CRT deal; Fannie updates bankruptcy attorney fees; multifamily affordability test includes updated High Opportunity Areas data.

Freddie board member jumps to Fannie board; a week of CAS and STACR tender offers; and seller/servicer guidance for the shutdown.

Fannie ditches legacy terminology related to appraisals; Freddie prices a $707 million SCRT; PIMCO buys 3,044 RPLs from Fannie.

Mortgage insurers ready for VantageScore 4.0; Fannie Mae announces results of NPL sale; delinquencies down for STACR pools, up for CAS pools.

Republican lawmakers support CRT; Barry Habib joins Fannie board; CBO evaluates impacts of ending the conservatorship.

Using HMDA data, an academic researcher shows that the guarantee fees charged by the GSEs are above-market rate based on risk-adjusted profits.

Fannie and Freddie announce a flurry of RPL and NPL sales, plus one CRT redemption.
