MCLEAN, Va., Sept. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) announced today it will offer approximately $233 million in non-performing loans (NPL) for sale via auction.

The NPLs are currently serviced by Select Portfolio Servicing Inc., Newrez LLC, d/b/a Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing or Nationstar Mortgage LLC, d/b/a Rushmore Servicing.
The NPLs are being marketed via three pools: a Standard Pool Offering (SPO®) and two Extended Timeline Pool Offerings (EXPO®), which target participation by smaller investors, including non-profits and Minority, Women, Disabled, LGBTQ+, Veteran or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (MWDOBs).

Advisors to Freddie Mac on the transaction are Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and First Financial Network, Inc., a woman-owned business.

IT’S TIME…Hot Off The Press,
Glen Bradford Seeking Alpha…
“Fannie Mae (OTCQB:FNMA) and Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC) are two government-sponsored enterprises ("GSEs") that have been in conservatorship since September 6, 2008. Hank Paulson and Dan Jester led Treasury's efforts to seize the companies and restructure their balance sheets to inject capital via the SPSPA, an agreement that was put in place after they were put in conservatorship that relied on FHFA's discretionary accounting authority to write down GSE assets to support the narrative of the enterprises needing capital.
In a world where it surely becomes inadvisable to hold the enterprises captive in conservatorship when their net worth eclipses their ERCF capital requirements, and where the Republican Party at large supports the end of conservatorships, my strategy is to continue to accumulate the junior preferreds (OTCQB:FMCKJ) at a discount to their intrinsic value. Fannie and Freddie have more net worth than ever before in history and a stronger earnings profile than ever before in history. They are safer than ever before in history. The acting CEO of Fannie Mae indicated that someone doesn't know how to take a victory lap by ending the conservatorships. I couldn't agree more.”

U.S. House Prices Rise 5.7 Percent over the Last Year;
Up 0.9 Percent from the First Quarter of 2024
for immediate release - 08/27/2024
Washington, D.C. – U.S. house prices rose 5.7 percent between the 2nd qtr '23
and the second quarter of 2024, according to the FHFA House Price Index.
House prices were up 0.9 percent compared to the first quarter of 2024.
FHFA’s seasonally adjusted monthly index for June was down 0.1 percent
from May.
“U.S. house prices saw the third consecutive slowdown in quarterly growth,”
said Dr. Anju Vajja, Deputy Director for FHFA’s Division of Research and
Statistics. “The slower pace of appreciation as of June end was likely due to
higher inventory of homes for sale and elevated mortgage rates.”
Significant Findings
-- Nationally, the U.S. housing market has experienced positive annual
appreciation each quarter since the start of 2012.
-- House prices rose in 50 states and the District of Columbia between
the second quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2024. The five
states with the highest annual appreciation were 1) Vermont, 13.4 %;
2) West Virginia, 12.3 percent; 3) Rhode Island, 10.1 percent;
4) Delaware, 10.0 percent; and 5) New Jersey, 9.9 percent.
-- House prices rose in 96 of the top 100 largest metropolitan areas over
the last four quarters. The annual price increase was the greatest in
Syracruse, NY at 14.2 percent. The metropolitan area that experienced
the most significant price decline was Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown,
TX at -3.2 percent.
-- All nine census divisions had positive house price changes year-over-year.
The Middle Atlantic division recorded the strongest appreciation, posting
a 8.5 percent increase from the second quarter of 2023 to the second
quarter of 2024. The West South Central division recorded the smallest
four-quarter appreciation, at 2.8 percent.

The first tab displays rankings, and the second tab offers charts.

house price fluctuations at the national, census division, state, metro area,
county, ZIP code, and census tract levels. FHFA uses a fully transparent
methodology based upon a weighted, repeat-sales statistical technique to
analyze house price transaction data.

FHFA HPI uses seasonally adjusted, purchase-only data from Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac. Additional indexes use other data including refinances,
Federal Housing Administration mortgages, and real property records.

future HPI release dates, are available on FHFA’s website:
