Freddie Mac
Foreclosed Homes Might Be Turned Into Rental Homes
August 12, 2011 by Financemyhome · Leave a Comment
Soon, the government will be announcing their plans for upwards of 250K homes that are owned by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and HUD. It is possible that they are going to be turning them into a pool of rentals and sell them later as the market improves. How this will be managed or created is anyone’s guess. Watch the FHFA- Federal Housing Finance Agency for more information. On the one hand, it will allow for revenue to be generated from an asset that is vacant. It also allows for inventory control which might mitigate price declines. We’ll have to wait and see.

FHFA Extends Refinance Program By One Year
Washington, DC — Federal Housing Finance Agency Acting Director Edward J. DeMarco has announced an extension of the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP), a refinancing program administered by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to June 30, 2012. The program was set to expire on June 30 of this year. In addition, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will make the following adjustments to their programs: Freddie Mac will exempt HARP loans from their recently announced price adjustments and Fannie Mae will conform their eligibility date to May 2009.
The program expands access to refinancing for qualified individuals and families whose homes have lost value. HARP has grown over the past year. In 2010, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac purchased or guaranteed more than 6.8 million refinanced mortgages. Of this total, 621,803 were HARP refinances with LTVs between 80 percent and 125 percent. This is up from 190,180 in 2009, when HARP began.
For more information on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac refinance activity, see FHFA’s Fourth Quarter 2010 Foreclosure Prevention & Refinance Report. Additionally, homeowners can visit www.MakingHomeAffordable.gov for more information on the program.
