Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac low-downpayment programs have been in the market for almost two years now but they haven’t been getting a lot of mileage. Although numbers picked up in the third quarter, some say the programs need to be simplified in order to promote more usage. The GSEs purchased $10.31 billion of purchase mortgages with loan-to-value ratios of 96 to 97 percent through Sept. 30, 2016, according to an Inside Mortgage Finance analysis of mortgage-backed securities data. However, nearly half of that came in the third quarter, which saw a 52.7 percent jump from the previous period. Fannie’s HomeReady program and Freddie’s Home Possible Advantage products were designed to help creditworthy, low- and moderate-income buyers.
