So far this year, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have resolved some $30.99 billion of buyback demands through a combination of loan repurchases and indemnifications for the GSEs’ losses, nearly double the $15.66 billion in resolutions recorded during the first nine months of 2012, according to an analysis by Inside Mortgage Trends, an affiliated publication. The figures refer to the unpaid principal balance of loans subject to a repurchase demand, not the actual payment by the lender. Fannie and Freddie reported a combined $3.53 billion of mortgage repurchases and other buyback resolutions during the third quarter of 2013, the lowest quarterly amount in three years.
