What it does
The bill would require Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to classify certain student loan payments made by a home seller to a homebuyer as a financial concession in home sales, up to $25,000, with amounts above that treated as a sales concession. It applies to payments toward federal student loans made by an interested party (such as a seller) to the buyer of a newly constructed principal residence. The Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency must implement this requirement within 30 days of the bill’s enactment. The goal is to reduce the debt burden for first-time homebuyers by allowing such payments to be treated more favorably in mortgage underwriting.
