Fannie-Freddie Overseer to Make Small Mortgage Fee Changes

The U.S. regulator for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has released adjustments for fees the companies charge to guarantee mortgages that will keep costs largely the same for most borrowers.

Borrowers with weaker credit will pay slightly lower fees, while most others will see prices remain the same, the Federal Housing Finance Agency said Friday. Certain riskier loans, such as those on investment properties, those over $417,000 and cash-out refinances will become incrementally more expensive.
