Annual Housing Report - 2018 (covers activities 1/2017 – 12/2017)

Published: 10/30/2018

This Annual Housing Report (Report) describes the affordable housing activities of the Enterprises during 2017 and meets the reporting requirements of the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992, as amended (Safety and Soundness Act). The Report begins by describing FHFA's preliminary review of the Enterprises' 2017 housing goals performance.

The Report also includes information about the distribution of single-family loans by race/ethnicity, gender, and census tract median income. In addition, the Report includes a breakdown of the single-family mortgage product-types purchased by each Enterprise, as well as information on mortgage payment type (e.g., fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgage), loan-to-value ratios, and credit scores for 2017.

The Report describes the status of several other activities related to affordable housing, including multifamily rental housing and initiatives to identify and address obstacles to mortgage credit.  For FHFA's Duty to Serve rule, the Report describes the planning process and the plans submitted by the Enterprises. The Report also details the affordable housing allocations made by each Enterprise, as well as FHFA's efforts to survey the mortgage markets and release loan-level data submitted by the Enterprises to the public. Finally, the Report discusses subprime, nontraditional, and higher-priced mortgage loans.
