The new representation and warranty framework for GSE loans announced last week by the Federal Housing Finance Agency will go far to providing a clearer picture of prospective putbacks on loans delivered to the GSEs starting next year but more is needed, analysts conclude. At the FHFA’s direction, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are implementing a new rep and warrant framework for all conventional loans funded, acquired, securitized or guaranteed on or after Jan. 1, 2013. The new framework places greater emphasis on quality control review processes to be applied when the loans are delivered to the GSEs earlier in the loan process and improves the clarity around repurchase requests, noted Fitch Ratings.
