U.S. Federal Housing (FHFA)

Mortgage payments ‘immediately’ slashed after $200 BILLION move to drive down costs: the-sun.com/money/16008524…

If you pay your rent and utilities on time, your credit score should reflect it. FHA is moving forward with two modern credit scores that give homebuyers credit for paying their rent and utilities — increasing accuracy for lenders and opportunity for first-time buyers.

.@pulte: "People look at their FICO score often times and they think, 'This isn't reflective of what I've actually been paying on time.' So this will hopefully allow more people to access a home, who can frankly afford to do so."

Today, I chaired the United States Federal Housing Finance Oversight Board and was joined by Securities & Exchange Commission Chairman, Paul Atkins, and HUD Secretary, Scott Turner, and representatives from Treasury. We had a productive meeting covering, amongst other things, the safety and soundness of the United States Housing and Mortgage Markets, as well as Fannie, Freddie, and the Federal Home Loan Banks’ activities to support affordable housing and underserved areas. We also discussed our continued commitment to proactively mitigate any risks to the stability of the United States Housing Finance System. Overall, it was a productive meeting and I appreciated my colleagues’ participation and input. @SECPaulSAtkins @SecretaryTurner

“Lower insurance costs and mortgage rates shrink the monthly payment of a new mortgage,” said @FHFA Director Bill Pulte. By @bcynic nationalmortgagenews.com/news/fhfa-loos…

From the head of The United States Mortgage Bankers Association: Thanks for the insurance changes! As we talked about a while ago, this makes tens of thousands of units eligible for Fan/Fred financing that were not before, which we highlighted in our statement.

MUST WATCH video of President Trump discussing the two strong executive orders he recently signed to improve housing affordability: "Under the Trump Administration, we want to make it possible for every American to live that American Dream in a beautiful home." - @POTUS 🏡🇺🇸

Mortgage rates are down. Inflation is down. Spring selling season is upon us. Fannie and Freddie employees are in the office. The businesses are more efficient than ever. The teams are focused on ROE, and generating returns, like a business should. Thanks to President T!

FEDERAL HOUSING, FANNIE AND FREDDIE ENDING ANTHROPIC USE: PULTE

The 30 Year Mortgage Rate going BELOW 6%, and now being in the 5%'s, is DIRECTLY because of President Trump's genius move to BUY $200 Billion in Mortgage Bonds and his CRUSHING of inflation. NO OTHER PRESIDENT would have been able to reverse Joe Biden's 8% Mortgage Rate!

THANK YOU PRESIDENT T!

"Low interest rates will solve the Biden-created housing problem while at the same time protecting the values of those people who already own a house that really feel rich for the first time in their lives," @DonaldTrump said. nationalmortgagenews.com/news/trump-tal…
