Fannie, Freddie, and FHA In Oregon, CY 2010: Ho Hum, Another $21 Billion Year.

Readers may recall a September 2010 post HERE that showed an Oregon county breakdown of $21 Billion in Fannie, and Freddie AND FHA loans for CY 2008. 

Because it requires so much work to produce this data, I skipped CY 2009 but have just added two additional tables to the PDF file linked in right pane of the blog; A Picture of GSE Assisted Households, CY 2010.

Look for These Two New Tables:

• Table 3: Loan Counts by Oregon County for Fannie, Freddie AND FHA, Including Loan Purpose and Shares
• Table 4: Loan $$ by Oregon County for Fannie, Freddie AND FHA, Including Loan Purpose and Shares

Some Observations:

1. During CY 2010 in Oregon there were $21.35 Billion in loans acquired or insured by the GSE's and FHA.
2. The loans went to 104,000 households.
3. Among the three agencies, FHA's share of all loans was 19%, but it had a much larger 43% share of home purchase loans. 
4. Refinances made up 82% of the GSE business in Oregon during CY 2010. 

A Multiple Year Look at Federally Supported Home Ownership Program in Oregon:
Last 3 Years: More than $65 Billion; Last 4 Years: Estimated $80 Billion.

Federally supported home loan commitments in Oregon were in excess of $65 billion for the 3 years from 2008-2010 assuming: 

• That GSE and FHA volume during 2009 was roughly the same as 2008 and 2010.
• That VA and RDA loans totaled $1 billion annually.

Assuming GSE and FHA loan volume was somewhat down during CY 2011, a working estimate is that for the last 4 calendar years federally supported home loans in Oregon totaled close to $80 Billion.

Putting an Oregon annual $20 Billion, 100,000 GSE, FHA, VA, and RDA Assisted Households A Year Estimate in Perspective:

• The federal Consolidated Federal Funds Report shows that federally supported Small Business Loans (CFDA 59.012) in Oregon totaled only $104 million during FY 2010.
• CBPP estimates HERE that there were 54,000 federally assisted renter households in Oregon in 2010, 75 years after the beginning of these programs.
