Many homeowners were recently given an incentive to refinance their mortgage, after President Joe Biden’s administration on Friday
removed the controversial adverse market refinance fee, which was added in 2020 and tacked on to refinanced mortgage loans backed by government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The 0.5% fee was put in place during the coronavirus pandemic to help ease the financial burden that the GSEs faced.
