Some $2.71 trillion of Ginnie servicing was outstanding as of the end of 2025, up 6.8% from 2024.

The $87.67 billion of removals were largely tied to borrower payoffs.

Gormley said Ginnie Mae is working with the Mortgage Bankers Association and the Housing Policy Council on the effort.

Issuance of Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities increased by 3.5% on a monthly basis in January.

The agencies agreed to implement four recommendations from the Government Accountability Office.

The total FHA delinquency rate hit 11.86%, the third-highest reading in the past decade.

VA refi issuance was the highest since the fourth quarter of 2021.

Mortgage rates declined slightly in the government-insured market after the Trump administration directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to purchase a combined $200 billion in agency mortgage-backed securities.
