Mortgage professionals can use a free online tool from Fannie to get more accurate income calculations and benefit from rep and warrant relief for the loans they sell to the GSE.

CFPB researchers determined that, although loans for second homes declined after FHFA imposed steep fees on those loan types, the expected increase in primary-residence loans never materialized.

The integration of Condo Project Manager into Desktop Underwriter should allow lenders to quickly determine if a condo project is eligible for Fannie-backed mortgages.

Trade groups want FHFA to conduct a cost/benefit analysis before implementing the long-awaited shift from Classic FICO to FICO 10 T and VantageScore 4.0.

Lenders can now expect a streamlined feedback certificate and faster identification of rep and warrant relief.

Desktop Underwriter will now automatically populate Underwriting Findings with information from Condo Project Manager.

So far this year, 53.9% of GSE deliveries went to Freddie Mac compared to 44.7% in the first two months of 2024. (Includes two data tables.)

According to FHFA’s inspector general, the Division of Enterprise Regulation has been steadily working with Freddie Mac to remedy deficiencies in the enterprise’s risk management.

All but one of the top 10 GSE sellers delivered a higher proportion of mortgages to Freddie Mac than Fannie Mae in January. (Includes two data tables.)

Fannie seller/servicers must now have information security programs that meet NIST or ISO standards.
