Newly introduced legislation, if passed, would rescind FHFA's latest revisions to GSE pricing.

Loans with MI represented 63.8% of total mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie, Freddie and Ginnie in the first quarter.

Industry stakeholders believe the new upfront fee changes are unworkable and penalize more qualified borrowers.

Volume declined on a sequential basis in the first quarter, while deliveries picked up in March compared with February.

The private MI share of purchase mortgages with primary mortgage insurance hit 48.4% in the first quarter of 2023.

The rulemaking process will help make current policy more durable, reducing the likelihood future administrations reverse existing fair housing regulation.

A proposed rule from the SEC could prohibit CRT issuance by the GSEs after Fannie and Freddie exit conservatorship.

The new rule changes the definition of "colonia" and "rural area" to ensure more of these impoverished, predominantly Latino communities are covered under the regulation.
