DEFINITION OF THE
SECONDARY MORTGAGE
T
he secondary market in
residential mortgages is
a network of mortgage
originators who lend money to home buyers and inves?
tors who buy mortgage loans. Primary mortgage lend?
ers make loans to propeny buyers and underwrite and
service the loans, which can be held in lenders' own
portfolios or sold to investors. By selling the loans
they originate, lenders obtain funds that they can use
to make new mortgages. Investors who buy mortgage
loans after they have been closed by primary mortgage
lenders usually consider the loans as investments, and
usually pay the lender a fee to continue servicing the
loans.
In the past, the role of the secondary mongage mar?
ket was primarily to help solve regional differences in
the cost and availability of mortgage credit.
Thrift institutions have traditionally been the pri?
mary originators of conventional mortgages; thus, the
availability of mortgage money depended heavily on
their deposit flows. In the 1960s and 1970s, thrifts
originated as much as two-thirds of conventional mort?
gages.
There was a regional mismatch between these depos?
it flows and the demand for mortgage credit, however.
In older, slower growing areas
of the country, the supply of
mortgage credit available for
lending by thrifts exceeded the
demand for it by homebuyers.
At the same time, thrifts in the
newer, faster growing regions
faced great demand for new
housing but had relatively few
deposits to lend.
Through its purchases of
mortgages in the faster growing
regions and sales of mortgages
in the slower growing
regions, the secondary
mortgage market
_T
redistributed the available
mortgage money by transfer?
ring funds from capital surplus
to capital deficit areas.
Today, in addition to redistributing funds, the sec?
ondary mortgage market links the capital and mortgage
markets more closely through its sales of mortgages
in forms that have attracted investment from outside
the traditional mortgage investment community. The
need for new sources of investment in residential mort?
gages has increased in recent years as the demand for
mortgage credit nationwide has grown more rapidly than
the deposit bases of traditional lending institutions.
The chan on the following pages illustrates secondary
market activity in one-to-four family (non-farm) and
multifamily mortgage markets since 1970.
Much of this activity occurs among individual finan?
cial institutions. The roles and operations of private
secondary market entities are described beginning on
page 8.
Three entities were created by Congress to develop
the residential secondary mortgage market. They have
become important elements in its continuing growth.
They are the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corpo?
ration (Freddie Mac), the Federal National Mortgage
Association (Fannie Mae), and
the Government National Mort?
gage Association (GNMA).
Synopses of these governmentrelated entities begin on page
9.
Highlights of the
creation and devel?
opment of the sec?
ondary market appear
chronologically
beginning on page 12.
