Changes to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac In The Wind

A plan unveiled by the Obama administration today to wind down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could take years to implement, but at least one aspect would kick in this year: lowering the ceiling on the jumbo conforming loan limit in high-cost markets from $729,750 to $625,500.

The adminsistration's plan also calls for gradually increasing down-payment requirements on loans guaranteed by Fannie and Freddie to 10 percent, and a continued wind-down of Fannie and Freddie's investment portfolios.

The wind-down of the portfolios -- mortgage-backed securities the government-sponsored entities purchased as investments -- could put upward pressure on mortgage rates as Fannie and Freddie continue to shed nearly $1.5 trillion in MBS investments at a rate of 10 percent a year.
