Two 59%+ winners, four above 25% in Aug – How this AI model keeps picking winners
WASHINGTON - Fannie Mae (OTCQB:FNMA), the $63.59 billion market cap mortgage finance giant with annual revenue of $28.89 billion, announced Tuesday it has begun marketing its latest sale of reperforming loans as part of ongoing efforts to reduce the size of its retained mortgage portfolio. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company is currently trading near its 52-week high of $11.91, reflecting significant market interest in its strategic initiatives.
The sale consists of approximately 3,058 loans with an unpaid principal balance of approximately $560.5 million. Qualified bidders can register to participate in the sale, with bids due on September 4, 2025.
Fannie Mae is marketing the reperforming loans in collaboration with Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. Reperforming loans are defined as loans that have been or are currently delinquent but have resumed payments for a period of time.
The terms of the sale include borrower protections that require buyers to offer loss mitigation options to any borrower who may re-default within five years following the closing of the sale. Purchasers must honor any approved or in-process loss mitigation efforts at the time of sale, including loan modifications.
Additionally, purchasers are required to offer delinquent borrowers a series of loss mitigation options, which may include principal forgiveness, before initiating any foreclosure proceedings.
This initiative aligns with Fannie Mae’s broader strategy to manage its mortgage portfolio. The company indicated in a press release statement that interested bidders can register for announcements, training, and other information related to the sale.
In other recent news, Fannie Mae has revised its 2025 forecast for existing single-family home sales downward to 4.14 million units, a decrease from the previous estimate of 4.24 million units. This adjustment is attributed to updated expectations regarding interest rates, which are now anticipated to reach 6.5% by the end of 2025 and 6.1% in 2026. In a separate development, Fannie Mae has launched an AI-powered Crime Detection Unit in collaboration with Palantir Technologies. This initiative aims to enhance the detection and prevention of mortgage fraud, potentially saving the U.S. housing market millions in fraud-related losses. The partnership will utilize artificial intelligence to analyze large datasets for irregular patterns to effectively identify and stop fraudulent activities. William J. Pulte, Chairman of Fannie Mae, highlighted the importance of this initiative for increasing the safety and soundness of the housing system. These recent developments underscore Fannie Mae’s proactive approach to addressing challenges within the housing market.
