October 22, In doing this, Ginnie Mae works with other government agencies to make affordable housing widely available through mortgage loans. Its role is to provide liquidity in the market for home loans that are directly guaranteed by the U.
Specifically, Ginnie Mae guarantees mortgages that are designed to open up homeownership to a wider array of people. Ginnie Mae is one of three major bond issuers that allows for the funding for most consumers in the real estate market. By guaranteeing principal and interest payments on mortgages that are part of its mortgage-backed security portfolio more on that later , it provides investor protection against a borrower not being able to make their payment and defaulting on the terms of the loan.
At the same time, the liquidity being provided for nonbank and other mortgage lenders helps keep funding for government-backed loans more affordable than if banks and other mortgage originators were forced to hold the loans for significant periods of time. Then, the mortgage is sold to GNMA in order to free up capital for the lender to make additional loans. The system supports the smooth functioning of the housing market.
The primary way that Ginnie Mae provides the liquidity necessary to support the free flow of capital in the housing market is by packaging the mortgages it buys into bonds, also known simply as GNMAs. A mortgage bond or MBS is made up of many loans that have been grouped together based on similar characteristics. Ginnie Mae puts this bond together and makes it available to investors in the bond market.
Bond payments backed by underlying mortgage payments are historically considered safe to invest in because many will prioritize their home payments over other expenses. However, these bonds come with the extra assurance that GNMA will make the investor whole in the event the borrower defaults.
This can be a huge attraction. Like any bonds, GNMAs are impacted by rising and falling interest rates. Given the higher demand, bond yields and rates have been lower than they otherwise would be.
This had the effect of creating a favorable interest rate environment for consumers. At the same time, investor returns are lower. However, as the economy recovers from the unforeseen circumstances the pandemic has created, interest rates have steadily begun to rise again. Ginnie Mae secures a variety of mortgage loans that have the direct backing of the federal government. FHA loans are aimed at borrowers with less-than-perfect credit or shorter histories.
