Freddie Mac

Incenter Mortgage Advisors is facilitating the sale of $3.7 billion in mortgage servicing rights tied to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans, roughly one-third of which have private mortgage insurance.

Donald Layton, who has run the mortgage giant since 2012, discussed the busy agenda leading up to his departure and says Freddie can serve as a "technical adviser" in GSE reform talks.

Conforming mortgage interest rates dropped slightly over the past seven days after weeks of steady increases, according to Freddie Mac.

Exploration and adoption of new technologies is essential for achieving strategic goals and satisfying the needs and expectations of mortgage borrowers.

The departing CEOs of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac oversaw significant cultural and operational shifts that made the housing finance system safer and more responsive to market needs, but a tough job lies ahead for their successors.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have launched an online clearinghouse with resources to assist lenders in serving borrowers with limited English proficiency.

It's a critical time in Washington, with many key institutions in the mortgage and housing industries getting new leaders. At the Mortgage Bankers Association, there's a renewed focus on maintaining effective influence with decision makers on initiatives like housing finance reform, innovation and the evolving needs of home buyers.

Mortgage rates, after a brief respite last week, rose to their highest level in over seven years, according to Freddie Mac.

Freddie Mac made its first equity investment into a low-income housing tax credit fund in nearly a decade, through a partnership with Enterprise Community Investment.

Mortgage rates dropped slightly for the first time after five weeks of increases, but this is only a temporary lull as the economy remains strong, Freddie Mac said.
