Sonu Mittal discusses the varying significance of loan buybacks, indicating that while requests have decreased, repurchase amounts have increased, reflecting differing perspectives.
Freddie Mac's fee-based alternative for repurchasing performing loans with defects aims to incentivize lenders towards better manufacturing quality, benefiting the overall mortgage industry.
Mittal highlights the economic advantages of the new fee model for non-bank lenders, noting substantial cost reductions when avoiding the scratch-and-dent market.
With repurchase requests down 55% since early 2023, adjustments by Freddie Mac and the FHFA suggest practical solutions to managing loan defects.
