FHFA credit-reporting changes put Fannie and Freddie at the center
Stock Movers reported that the FHFA plans to direct Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to require lenders to use credit data from 2 bureaus instead of 3.[1][2]
Stock Movers said the requirement could be announced by Bill Pulte as soon as October 12th, while noting his calls for credit bureaus and FICO to cut fees.[2]
The Compound and Friends argued that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s pricing framework could shift costs to consumers through closing costs, while citing Rocket Mortgage’s claimed $1,600 average saving per loan.[3]
Prof G Markets discussed Fannie and Freddie as approving, buying, bundling and selling mortgage bonds with a semi-explicit government guarantee and subsidy.[4]
Bloomberg Daybreak: US Edition mentioned Fannie and Freddie in explaining that conventional borrowers generally qualify at higher rates, rather than discussing the credit-reporting proposal.[5]
