Salt Lake City, UT
/ September 1,
2007 / Perfect Home Living Press Release / -- As disappointing
figures continue to spread across the financial sector, Freddie Mac
released figures today that shows that the U.S. home mortgage lender is
not immune.
Today Freddie Mac
reported a 45 percent plunge in second quarter profits as it was hit by
a $320 million dollar loss on new mortgages.
Some analysts believe
that this signals further turmoil within Freddie Mac as the mortgage
lender in June returned to quarterly reporting for the first time since
the accounting scandal in 2003 that forced Freddie Mac to restate $5
billion in earnings.
Freddie Mac's
chairman and chief executive Richard Syron, said "On the credit
front we are seeing weakening, but we are well positioned relative to
the overall marketplace to weather the ongoing disruptions in the
mortgage markets and emerge as an even stronger player."
Although the $320
million dollar loss Freddie Mac reported on new mortgages may seem to
present yet another dark hour for the mortgage lending industry others
remain confident that Freddie Mac will continue as an industry flagship
for affording liquidity within the financial lending market so consumers
can fulfill the dream of homeownership.
"Freddie Mac is
undoubtedly a proven foundation for the housing industry and financial
markets," says Sheri Fitzpatrick, CEO of Perfect Home Living. "The
shifting of fraud loans from one entity to the next is no bailout nor
should it become the responsibility of third parties that were not
involved in the origination process. It would seem that the recent
downturn of earnings for Freddie Mac will worsen if tighter regulatory
controls aren't implemented during the loan origination process,"
Fitzpatrick added.
