Lenders reported a moderate net easing of credit standards across all loan types over the past three months, according to Fannie Mae’s second quarter 2016 Mortgage Lender Sentiment Survey released this week.

A key judicial review panel recently said the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s March bid to consolidate all the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shareholder lawsuits and transfer them to one court was “inappropriate” and rejected the government’s request.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac produced $73.23 billion of single-family mortgage-backed securities in May, a solid 6.3 percent increase from April, according to a new ranking and analysis by Inside The GSEs.

New home-equity originations on home-equity lines of credit and closed-end second mortgages fell by 6.3 percent from the fourth quarter to an estimated $45.0 billion. However, that was up 18.4 percent from the first quarter of last year.

Fannie noted that lenders aren’t obligated to self-report any matters related to possible TRID non-compliance except in two limited circumstances where a repurchase demand is an authorized remedy.
