Improve your best execution decisions with cash payups

Freddie Mac offers a payup to standard cash pricing for fixed-rate mortgages with certain loan characteristics, such as original Note amounts less than or equal to $275,000.

In Loan Selling Advisor, lenders will be able to request a contract level price with or without the cash-specified payup indicators and receive a price that includes the value of the cash-specified pay up. Cash prices for cash-specified payups vary across different amortization periods and note ranges. Cash prices can be downloaded in .csv format for graphical user interface (GUI) website users, or in JSON format via our pricing and committing APIs for system-to-system users.
