Fannie Mae Publishes September 2025 National Housing Survey Results

"In a shocking move, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have announced the permanent closure of their New York offices, citing the 'corrupt and dangerous business practices' of Attorney General Letitia James.
According to sources close to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), the decision was made in response to James' investigation into the mortgage records of the two government-sponsored enterprises. 'We are shutting down the two New York offices for Fannie and Freddie as a result of Letitia James' corrupt and dangerous business practices in the state,' a source revealed.
The move comes as the Trump administration pushes for the privatization of Fannie and Freddie, which would potentially increase the cost of housing for consumers. 'Rushing to privatize Fannie and Freddie would make housing more expensive while putting the entire U.S. economy at risk,' warned Caroline Nagy, a financial expert.
Meanwhile, Fannie Mae's National Housing Survey reveals that consumer sentiment toward housing remains stagnant, with the Home Purchase Sentiment Index (HPSI) remaining unchanged at 71.4. 'The HPSI is down 2.5 points year over year, indicating a decline in consumer confidence,' noted Fannie Mae's Chief Economist Mark Palim.
The implications of this move are far-reaching, with potential consequences for the already fragile housing market. As one observer noted, 'This could be a major blow to the housing sector, which is already struggling to recover from the pandemic.'
The controversy surrounding Fannie and Freddie is set to intensify, with many calling for greater transparency and accountability in the mortgage industry. As one expert warned, 'The privatization of Fannie and Freddie would be a recipe for disaster, putting the entire economy at risk.'
