Although Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac met their duty-to-serve obligations, that doesn't mean they achieved all their goals. Both enterprises received low scores in some categories.

The GSEs’ shareholders racked up one win and one loss last week in their legal battle to overturn the net worth sweep.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac released details on FHFA’s new policy of extending natural disaster-related reps-and-warranty relief to mortgagees impacted by the pandemic.

If FHFA follows through on the shift from the tri-merge to a bi-merge system, two million borrowers currently eligible for a GSE mortgage would no longer qualify, according to a report from TransUnion.

Documents show FHFA entered into 36 settlement agreements between January 2019 and September 2021 to resolve employee disputes.

An audit by FHFA’s Office of Inspector General found that the agency’s Office of Housing and Regulatory Policy hasn’t conducted adequate oversight of the new reports.

Market dynamics tied to the pandemic cut nonperforming loan sales at the GSEs by more than 66%. Fannie Mae accounted for almost all of the sales.

Even after a big win in a district court in August, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shareholders continue to face setbacks in other legal venues.

Stakeholders claim the plan to expand the suspended counterparty program is too broad and FHFA has failed to justify the expansion.

The vast amount of appraisal data released over the past year by FHFA has been a boon to researchers. However, many critics argue the regulator and the regulated entities should release all appraisal data.
