FHFA releases 2025 housing report on Fannie and Freddie activities
On October 30, the FHFA announced it released its annual housing report describing affordable housing activities in 2024 for the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs). The agency found that, in 2024, Freddie Mac met all its single-family and multifamily housing goals, while Fannie Mae met all but the single-family very low-income home purchase goal — missing the benchmark.
The new report also included information about the distribution of single-family loans by group median incomes, among other metrics. In addition, the report broke down the single-family mortgage product-types purchased by each GSE, as well as information on mortgage payment type, loan-to-value ratios, and credit scores. Lastly, the report described the affordable housing allocations made by each GSE, the FHFA’s efforts to survey mortgage markets and release loan-level data, and discussed subprime, nontraditional, and higher-priced mortgage loans.
