"We have called on FHFA to rescind this policy [the Adverse Market Refinance Fee] and appreciate that they have reviewed the data and been responsive to our request. With less than 2 percent of GSE loans in forbearance and continued home price appreciation resulting in significant borrower equity, there is no need for the fee." --MBA President and CEO Robert Broeksmit, CMB
