FHFA: Latest Report on Non-Performing Loan Sales Released

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) today released the latest report on the sale of non-performing loans (NPLs) by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the Enterprises). The Enterprise Non-Performing Loan Sales Report includes sales information about NPLs sold through December 31, 2020.  Borrower outcomes reflect NPLs sold through June 30th, 2020 and reported through December 31, 2020. 

The sale of NPLs reduces the number of delinquent loans in the Enterprises’ portfolios and transfers credit risk to the private sector. FHFA and the Enterprises impose requirements on NPL buyers designed to achieve more favorable outcomes for borrowers than foreclosure. 

This report shows that from program inception in 2014 through December 31, 2020, the Enterprises sold 130,808 NPLs with a total unpaid principal balance (UPB) of $24.5 billion. The loans included in the NPL sales had an average delinquency of 2.9 years and an average current mark-to-market loan-to-value ratio of 91 percent (not including capitalized arrearages).
