Fannie, Freddie, FHFA, lenders work on mortgage deal
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Federal Housing Finance Agency and lenders are working on an agreement that would expand access to mortgages. The deal “would allow credit to flow more freely to lower- and middle-income households,” said Mark Zandi, Moody’s Analytics’ chief economist. “That’s vital to getting the housing recovery moving forward.” Reuters (10/17), The Wall Street Journal (tiered subscription model) (10/17), Bloomberg (10/17)
