Historically, Fannie has generally securitized more loans than Freddie. Freddie’s share is now on par or at times even exceeding Fannie. Since we’ve been tracking, Freddie loans have been also less risky than Fannie loans. However, this trend has reversed since January 2023. This is likely due to a greater standardization of credit parameters between the two. Recently, Freddie has also become much more aggressive in the >95 CLTV space contributing to its higher risk index.

Affordability worsened for entry-level buyers, making it generally much harder to buy an entry-level home in 2023 than in 2012. While first-time buyers (FTBs) generally have higher MDRs than repeat buyers (RBs), FTB MDR experienced a notable drop from March 2020 to June 2020 and have since moved sideways. The decline in FTB MDRs is partly driven by the increase in FICO score as well an increase in down payments for FTBs since March 2020, which has been offset some by an increase in total debt to income ratio. Total and housing debt to income (DTI and PITI) are increasing for FTB purchase loans.

The share shift from banks, especially large ones, to nonbanks accelerated during the pandemic. During the pandemic, a less dramatic market shift occurred from large banks to nonbanks for FHA Purchase loans, as banks had already largely exited this market.
