FHFA Request For Input on the Enterprises’ Single-Family Pricing Framework
An opportunity to advocate for eMortgages presented itself in May when the FHFA issued a Request for Input (RFI) on the Enterprises’ Single-Family Pricing Framework and how it can enhance FHFA’s ability to ensure that the Enterprises fulfill their mission. We saw the connection of this RFI to eMortgages and moved to coordinate a collective industry response.
On August 14th we submitted a response urging the FHFA and the Enterprises to continue to lead the market on eMortgage innovation and incentivize their adoption by reducing the upfront and/or ongoing guarantee fees for loans originated and delivered to the Enterprises as eMortgages.
With many of you supporting as co-signers our RFI response laid out the rationale for why widespread eMortgage adoption would help the Enterprises reduce their risk profile and capital requirements, and advance their mission- related goals, specifically in the areas of affordable housing, market liquidity, process efficiency, innovation, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG).
My hope is that at a minimum this collective industry response will lead to greater dialogue and out-of-the box thinking for how we can accelerate digital transformation within our industry for the benefit of all. Thank you for coming along side us and continuing to advocate for eMortgages
