Another fun fact, referencing Fannie/Freddie/FHA:

The collapse of the market for mortgage-backed securities has made them even more crucial to the current functioning of the housing market. The pair and the Federal Housing Administration together now guarantee about 90 percent of all new mortgages, far above their historic level.

In my everyday professional life, we typically say "borrowers" instead of "owners".

Not that it affects what you posted specifically (although indirectly I guess, with the "collapse of the market for mortgage-backed securities bit"), I'm always skeptical of articles that have seemingly large oversights. Fannie Mae's combined portfolio alone is (according to Q3), 2.8 trillion. The article says the combined FNM/FRE is 1.5T. Just another comment about half assed finance journalism.
