Fannie Mae to Enhance its Single-Family Historical Loan Performance Dataset
Fannie Mae continues to enhance its Single-Family Historical Loan Performance Dataset to provide greater transparency and ease of use for the market. The upcoming October 2020 Single-Family Loan Performance data update will include acquisition data and performance data through Q2 2020. The acquisition data will no longer be published with a 13-month lag, and instead will be on a four-month lag. In addition, Fannie Mae will enhance its dataset to a single-file format with a new file layout of 108 fields, which will mirror our Single-Family Credit Risk Transfer monthly remittance disclosure files.
Beginning with the October 2020 data publication, Fannie Mae will introduce the following 15 new fields in the dataset:
