TransUnion's Q2 2026 report shows a 7.1% increase in overall mortgage purchase originations but reveals a decline in those associated with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, while refinancing surged by 40%. FHA loans face significant delinquencies, and refinances are increasingly shifting towards rate-and-term and home equity products.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Your US mortgage tech could lose a big chunk of volume as Fannie and Freddie originations fall despite growing purchase lending overall. Shift your product focus away from GSE loans and towards refinance and non-GSE loans to capture growing segments.
