In addition to pushing its book of business past $2 trillion, Freddie Mac lifted secondary mortgage activity to a four-year high and cut delinquency to an eight-year low.
The total mortgage portfolio at the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. concluded

McLean, Virginia-based Freddie Mac's book of business was $1.9948 trillion as of Nov. 30, 2016. As of year-end 2015, the total portfolio was $1.9416 trillion.
The Dec. 31, 2016, total mortgage portfolio was comprised of an
$0.2984 trillion investment portfolio and $1.7130 trillion in outstanding mortgage-related securities and other guarantees.
Purchases and issuances totaled $52.706 billion during December 2016 --
the strongest month since November 2012 when the total was $60.230 billion.
Secondary activity totaled
$42.732 billion in November 2016 and $34.028 billion in December 2015.
Full-year 2016 activity amounted to $456.254 billion, climbing from $402.010 billion the prior year.
Freddie reported that 90-day single-family delinquency closed out 2016 at 1.00 percent --
