Now you can’t find a house for sale. But there are plenty of Agency MBS and other debt for sale. Just as borrowers are lowering their debt load by refinancing their home loans, corporations and governments are taking advantage of low rates while they’re here. For example, American Airlines has raised $10 billion through an offering of $6.5 billion in high-yield bonds and $3.5 billion in loans, the largest debt deal ever by an airline. Freddie and Fannie know a little something about debt, and this week’s Fannie news (constricting 2nd and vacation home locks) has caused disruption as the aggregators and the agencies plan to implement this. But locked pipelines, with their processing time, are already set for April funding, thus May delivery, so is Fannie’s constriction start in June? The devil is in the details. It is rumored that over 50 percent of sellers to the Agencies already exceed this limit! There are limited alternatives available currently, like perhaps FHA or non-QM, but a secondary market will be created over time… But at what cost? (Lest I forget, today’s audio version of the commentary features Mike Cagney of Figure.)
