The Rundown is a weekly video wrap of HousingWire’s top news stories produced by HousingWire’s Alcynna Lloyd. Each week, Lloyd takes a look at the housing industry’s most intriguing stories, presenting you with a digital summary of HousingWire’s news coverage.
This week, Lloyd discusses the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s plan to review the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure rule, the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s plan to re-propose regulation on capital requirements for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the housing market’s steep decline in inventory.
Here’s more detail on the topics of discussion this week:

In October, America’s housing inventory fell by 9% year-over-year, representing the largest retreat since May 2018, according to the RE/MAX National Housing Report.
