Ginnie Mae is instituting a temporary 10% cap on the share of mortgages with buydowns delivered into multiple issuer pools of Ginnie MBS.

FHFA Director Bill Pulte didn't participate in Freddie's first-quarter earnings call, as he did for Fannie's on Wednesday, but his presence was felt.

The share of refis with low loan-to-value ratios delivered to the GSEs increased in the first quarter of 2025.

The House Financial Services Committee moved a bill forward that would reduce the budget for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau by close to 70%.

Property tax and insurance costs now account for more than 20% of a mortgage payment.

Pulte reiterated that movements in interest rates on mortgages will help to guide GSE reform.

The data the Federal Reserve relies on shows a slowing economy but also increased risk of inflation.

Fannie's previous forecast was released just prior to changes in tariff policies.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has already followed through with the directive.

Home prices increased by 0.1% on a monthly basis in February.
