On June 30, 2016, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) released its first report providing information about the sale of non-performing loans (NPLs) by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the Enterprises). The Enterprise Non-Performing Loan Sales Report includes NPL sales data through May 31, 2016, and preliminary outcomes for borrowers through December 31, 2015. NPL sales reduce the number of severely delinquent loans in the Enterprises' portfolios and the rules are subject to FHFA requirements that encourage NPL buyers to prioritize outcomes for borrowers other than foreclosure.
