Freddie Mac

PHH Corp. completed the sale of its Freddie Mac mortgage servicing rights portfolio to New Residential Corp. for $102 million, but the sale of the Fannie Mae MSRs will take place in the third quarter.

From the Trump administration's initial efforts at reg relief and GSE reform to dramatic shifts in the servicing landscape, here's a look back at the top stories shaping the mortgage industry during the first half of 2017.

Freddie Mac has priced its first credit-risk transfer securities backed in part by tax-exempt loans used to finance affordable multifamily rental properties.

Mortgage rates increased for the first time in over a month, but the increase might be short-lived, according to Freddie Mac.

As long as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac exist, they must have adequate capital so taxpayers will never again be compelled to help them meet their financial obligations.

The House passed a bill that assigns Qualified Mortgage status to loans that banks hold in portfolio.

Mortgage rates dropped for the fourth consecutive week and hit their lowest level in nearly seven months, according to Freddie Mac.

The ICBA backs a plan to recapitalize Fannie and Freddie through retained earnings and public offerings, but other groups see it as a self-interested proposal to help GSE stockholders.

Paulson & Co. and Blackstone Group are among investors backing a proposal that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac be recapitalized and released from U.S. control without legislation.

Mortgage rates inched lower for the third consecutive week and set a new low for the year, according to Freddie Mac.
