Key points
Cancellation of mortgage fee increases: Planned changes to single-family mortgage fees, announced by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, will be nullified.
No new costs for borrowers: Citizens applying for a mortgage will not incur additional fees that were intended to be introduced.
Continuation of existing rules: Agencies can still apply risk-based pricing for credit fees, but without implementing the newly announced changes.
