Highlights Manager), an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) online platform for owners to upload and report energy performance for properties. The system measures and tracks energy and water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions on a 1-100 index score.” 3 With these green property requirements, owners “are incentivized to implement measures that result in projects with greater energy and water efficiency, reduced operating costs, improved indoor air quality and resident comfort, and reduced overall impact on the environment. For properties that have already achieved a green building standard and that are refinancing with this lower MIP premium, proceeds may be used to complete further efficiency upgrades, and/or to retrofit to the next-level green certification standards.” 4 The new Green Status field in the Multifamily data disclosure file provides investors with additional transparency that allows for granular ESG investment decisions in the Ginnie Mae MBS market. The implementation timeline for the new data field began on February 1, 2022, with the addition of the Green Status field to the Multifamily Pool and Loan New Issuance Daily file. The Green Status field will be fully implemented into data disclosure files by March 1, 2022 when the data is aggregated into the Multifamily Pool and Loan New Issuance Monthly Disclosure. Within the file, investors will be able to identify pools with green properties by looking at the final entry in each row. The entry will contain one of five MIP indicators which are combinations of the four FHA mortgage categories: GRA (Green/Affordable); GRB (Green/Broadly Affordable); GRM (Green/Market); NGR (Not Green); or blank (Unknown). Table 2, shown below, describes the four categories of FHA mortgages (Green, Affordable, Broadly Affordable, and Market) in further detail.

Highlights MBS investors use this new ESG data disclosure field? According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s) office of Housing, “For investors in Ginnie Mae MBS, green building disclosure provides additional transparency of loan collateral quality. Further, such disclosure—along with HUD’s underwriting policies—provides investors with the facts needed to assess environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) factors. ESG investing has grown in popularity in recent years, and this disclosure supports investment selection for buildings that are certified to be energy efficient during HUD’s loan underwriting process.” 2

Size of the US Residential Mortgage Market 2.2 Size and Value of the US Housing Market The total value of the single-family housing market reached $36.8 trillion in Q3 2021. The value of household equity has continued to trend upward into Q3 2021. As mentioned in Section 2.1 above, the unprecedented pace of asset appreciation during the pandemic is driving much of the increase in the overall value of real estate as an asset class, as debt remains relatively flat. The total value of the US housing market is up 93.4% from its trough in 2011. Conversely, mortgage debt outstanding has increasing slightly from $11.3 trillion in Q2 2021 to $11.5 trillion in Q3 2021.

State of the US Housing Market 2.4 Characteristics of Ginnie Mae Loans in Forbearance 157,070 Ginnie Mae loans were in forbearance as of the end of December 2021. This represents 6% decrease MoM, lower than the 11% MoM pace observed in October and November. 8,292 of loans in forbearance were removed from MBS pools and 148,778 still actively remain in pools. Most liquidated loans (5,986) were FHA and within that subset, 3,482 of those loans were originated by nonbanks. Approximately 96% of the loans that were in forbearance at the end of December were due to COVID-19 circumstances.

Number of Loans Removed from Pools: Nonbank The current share of Ginnie Mae loans in forbearance stands at 1.47% as of the end of December, down approximately a tenth of a percent MoM from 1.57% at the end of November. This approximately 10 bps decline is roughly half the decrease observed in each of the prior two months, during which the total forbearance percentage dropped approximately 20 bps each month. The forbearance rate remains significantly higher than the forbearance rate prevailing in the period prior to the pandemic between Jan 2019 and February 2020 (approximately 0.1%), and, as stated above, the rate of convergence to pre-pandemic rates has slowed in December.

The share of Ginnie Mae collateral outstanding varies across states, with the highest Ginnie Mae share in Alaska (47%) and the lowest in the District of Columbia (12%). The difference between Ginnie Mae share of Agency Issuance (24%) over the past year and Ginnie Mae’s share of overall outstanding Agency MBS (26%) is reflective of ebbs and flows in FHA and VA first lien origination market share, discussed in Section 2.8 below.
