Freddie Mac Proposal to Free up Equity Among Households

Freddie Mac has suggested a method to free up embedded equity among homeowners by using the secondary market for mortgages, potentially unlocking trillions of dollars in equity. The proposal aims to address the issue of homeowners being stuck with high-interest mortgages from when rates were lower.
