Home equity lending in 2025 is on track to surpass 2022 as the post-financial crisis peak for production.

FHFA Director Bill Pulte said credit bureaus and VantageScore should follow FICO and take creative and constructive actions.

Some lenders are consistently avoiding delivering certain GSE-eligible mortgages to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

Redwood is marketing a $684.6 million jumbo mortgage-backed security.

Home prices declined on a monthly basis for the second consecutive month in July, according to FHFA.

The last time Chase issued an MBS focused on ARMs from other lenders was 2019.

Much of the increase in impairments in August was tied to new 30+ day impairments, which increased by 59 basis points.

The average interest rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage increased by four basis points from last week to 6.30%.

“You’ve got an ever-increasing number of investors and insurance companies, securitizers and aggregators, all competing for what feels like a smaller set of loans,” said Clint Thomas, vice president of correspondent lending at Silver Hill Capital.

While interest rates declined again last week, mortgage applications didn't move much.
