The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA)
announced Friday that it would be eliminating the
adverse market refinance fee from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac home loans, making refinancing a mortgage cheaper for homeowners.
The elimination will apply to all mortgage loans beginning Aug. 1, 2021. The 50-basis point fee was
instated last year by the Trump administration amid the COVID-19 pandemic, as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac saw their profits decreasing due to the mortgage giants’ programs to help struggling families during the pandemic.
FHFA ending fee meant to cover Fannie, Freddie s COVID-related losses
