Housing finance aficionados may doubt Fannie and Freddie will ever exit conservatorship, but that doesn’t stop them from telling you what that exit would look like.

Freddie’s head of third-party oversight and governance recently outlined the main counterparty risks faced by the mortgage giant.

Fourteen state attorneys general sent a letter to FHFA Director Sandra Thompson urging her to quash Fannie Mae’s title insurance waiver pilot program.

SFA leader says ending GSE conservatorships would lead to unsustainable credit downgrades for Fannie and Freddie.

S&P Global Ratings gives the Freddie asset management and operations team an “above average” ranking and a stable outlook.

The mortgage giant worked with the Housing Assistance Council to estimate the scale of the tangled title problem and begin to look for solutions.

Two of the new proposed rules are directed at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The other three relate to the Federal Home Loan Banks.

The data release is a critical step in the enterprises’ long-awaited and controversial transition to a new credit score model.

A new advisory bulletin from FHFA spells out how the enterprises must respond to a “high-severity operational loss event.”

Ironically, providers of attorney opinion letters — an alternative to title insurance — may need insurance to compete with title insurers.
