Event summary
- Fannie Mae is selling two pools of non-performing loans: a larger pool of 1,217 loans ($259.9M UPB) and a Community Impact Pool of 27 loans ($5.7M UPB) focused on Dallas-Fort Worth.
- Bids for the larger pool are due October 27, 2026; bids for the CIP are due November 3, 2026.
- Buyers must offer loss mitigation options, including loan modifications with potential principal forgiveness, before foreclosure.
- Properties must be marketed to owner-occupants and non-profits first if foreclosure is unavoidable.
The big picture
Fannie Mae's sale of non-performing loans reflects ongoing efforts to manage risk in its portfolio while complying with regulatory mandates. The inclusion of a Community Impact Pool highlights a strategic focus on regional stabilization, particularly in markets like Dallas-Fort Worth where delinquency rates may be elevated. The $265.6M total UPB underscores the scale of distressed assets being offloaded, signaling broader trends in mortgage market distress.
