📣 Big News in the Mortgage World
📣 Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—the two government-backed entities that support most home loans in the U.S.—are working toward becoming publicly traded companies again.
While this won’t change things overnight, it could have long-term effects on the mortgage world.
💡 What this could mean for homeowners and buyers:
✅ Signals growing confidence in the housing market
✅ Brings more private capital into the mortgage system
⚠️ Could lead to slightly higher rates in the future as investors look for returns—something to watch if you're planning to buy or refinance down the road
These shifts can be subtle but important. I’m always tracking the broader market so I can help guide you through whatever changes come next.
