Selling guide changes at the GSEs should make it easier for some borrowers to qualify for mortgages.

Fairholme Funds v. FHFA, the only net worth sweep lawsuit to make it to trial, is nearing the end of litigation.

Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte recently hinted that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac might expand their title waiver programs. The effort doesn’t sit well with title insurance providers.

An OIG audit identified missing security control assessments that left core federal housing IT infrastructure exposed to unvalidated, undetected compromises.

Outstanding GSE servicing at Rocket Mortgage fell 2.1% from the first quarter, but its holdings still surpassed Chase, the second largest GSE servicer, by more than $322 billion. (Includes two data tables.)

FHFA proposes eliminating the “reputational harm” provisions in the regulation to comply with an executive order issued last August.

Construction loans may be too risky for the GSEs to purchase at scale, but Fannie has other products that help increase and preserve supply.

House members discuss reforms to AMA, Affordable Housing Program, membership eligibility, and ways to provide CDFIs more access to FHLB advances.

Freddie Mac servicers will have to transition from the monthly foreclosure reporting cycle of its old EDR system to a “near real-time” system based on key events.

The rule change would reduce regulatory costs and effort for both the FHLBanks and FHFA, dovetailing with Trump administration plans to simplify regulation for federal agencies.
