Wall Street’s mind has been put to ease regarding an expedited conservatorship exit for Fannie and Freddie but concerns remain.

A new White House and a new Treasury secretary means exactly what for Fannie and Freddie? We’re about to find out...

The announcement comes just a week after Fannie reported a similar error. However, in Freddie’s case, the prepayments only impacted nine pools.

The top officer of Ginnie Mae announced his resignation this week as the nation gets ready for a new occupant in the White House. A successor? Not yet.

The enterprise said 544 loans from uniform MBS pools and 677 loans from mega/super pools were erroneously liquidated due to a servicer’s error. Investors in the securities have the option to pursue claims.

While Fannie began accepting single-family SOFR-indexed ARMs in Au-gust, it stopped taking LIBOR-indexed mortgages at the end of September. By the end of the year, the enterprise will no longer issue LIBOR-linked MBS.

The majority of Freddie Mae’s forborne multifamily loans were in small-balance loan pools. Just 251 of them loans were in the company’s signature K-deals.

FHFA Director Mark Calabria hopes to finalize the GSE capital rule before yearend. But the proposal is so controversial that many industry watchers said it most likely won’t survive a change in administration.

As nonbank MBS servicers continue to gain market share, additional regulation looms large. The latest effort comes from the CSBS.

Ginnie Mae buyouts have simmered down the past few months but the improvement may be ephemeral. And nonbanks might be leading the charge.
