Fannie and Freddie are facing portfolio losses due to the mortgage market.

To this point, access to Fannie's income-calculation tool was only available through third parties.

PennyMac Financial Services CEO David Spector said he’s “very supportive of the GSEs getting into second-lien origination.”

The GSEs established a formal definition for mortgages to first-generation homebuyers.

Risk management activities in Freddie's multifamily business generate $1 billion in revenues in the first quarter, more than doubling its 4Q23 figures.

FHFA turns the equitable housing finance plans of the GSEs and other agency-directed fair housing activities into regulations.

The deadline to comment on Freddie Mac's proposal to acquire second liens is May 22.

The share of mortgages with primary MI increased by 2.1% in the first quarter, based on agency MBS issuance.

“We believe mortgage banking will provide additional service to our customers and eventually contribute to our profitability,” Bank OZK said.

Because this would technically be a new product, it’s subject to FHFA approval and requires a 30-day public notice period.
