Fannie and Freddie say goodbye to the 620 minimum credit score for lower-income homeowners seeking a refinance.

The new initiative will provide pricing incentives to multifamily property owners who accept housing choice vouchers issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac met all the FHFA benchmarks last year, but even if they’re lucky enough to do just as well this year, they would still fall short on several multifamily goals.

In a wide-ranging conversation, FHFA Acting Director Sandra Thompson described how innovation and new technology can bring more equity to the homebuying process.

A 20-year Freddie Mac veteran, Wendell Chambliss will serve as the company’s first-ever chief diversity and inclusion officer.

A windfall for Fannie and Freddie last year means their contributions to the Housing Trust Fund and the Capital Magnet Fund are up 3.9% for the year.

Credit-related income boosts profits at Fannie Mae; fair value losses at Freddie Mac keep net income growth in check.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency’s proposed 2022-2026 strategic plan focuses on preparing for climate change.

The lawsuit brought by fair housing organizations focused on Fannie Mae’s maintenance and marketing of its real estate-owned properties, that is, homes acquired through foreclosure.

In April, Fannie and Freddie will begin charging sharply higher LLPAs on second-home and high-balance mortgages. The change is likely to expand non-agency securitizations at the expense of Fannie and Freddie.
