May 2024

In response to industry feedback, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (“the GSEs”) have published additional State-specific Multistate 30-day Average SOFR ARM instruments that currently require State-specific authorized changes. There will be no content changes to these newly published instruments other than incorporating all State-specific required authorized changes and adding a State-specific tagline.

For example, the GSEs currently publish a Multistate Fixed Rate Note along with additional State-specific notes that incorporate any required state specific changes. To align with this approach, the GSEs have published State-specific versions of the following instruments:

  • Multistate Adjustable Rate Note – 30-day Average SOFR (Form 3441)
  • Multistate Adjustable Rate Rider – 30-day Average SOFR (Form 3141)
  • Multistate Fixed/Adjustable Rate Note – 30-day Average SOFR (Form 3442)
  • Multistate Fixed/Adjustable Rate Rider – 30-day Average SOFR (Form 3142)

These instruments are available for immediate use but must be used for any loans with Note Dates on or after November 1, 2024.
