Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Edward DeMarco says he plans to reduce the government service enterprise (GSEs) loan limits which will increase private sector participation in the mortgage market, according to nationalmortgagenews. He also intends to gradually increase the guarantee fees that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac charge lenders. MHProNews has learned DeMarco says its part of his responsibilities to reduce the dominance of the GSEs in the mortgage market, while some members of Congress question whether the FHFA has the authority to reduce loan limits without Congressional approval.
