BloodhoundBlog Radio: Fannie/Freddie Seized- What Now?

By
Commercial Real Estate Agent with Matthews Capital Markets NMLS 2415712

Sean Purcell and I recorded a teleconference for California REALTORS about the Treasury bailout of the GSEs.

We talk about what exactly happened and what the near-term (3-4 month) effects and medium-term (12-18 month) effects on underwriting guidelines and rates.  We also guessed at what the long-term (2-10 years) effect on conforming loans will be, in light of the mandate for the GSEs to reduce their portfolios.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the heads up. By the time I got back to my office, I only heard the tail end of it, I'll try to get it from the get-go.

Brian,

This is important to me...do you think this will effect the short sale market either positive or more negative?

Brian,

I had your podcase on last night while I was working.  Very easy to follow and helpful, much like Lenn's post on the issue today.  I truly appreciate these explanations, as a mortgage consumer each new release never quite hits the news in plain speak:-)

No effect whatsoever.  Lenders will still be difficult to deal with.
