In its first forecast since being taken over by the government, Freddie Mac has increased its estimate of residential originations for next year. The 30-year fixed rate mortgage is also projected to improve.

Overall residential mortgage originations are projected to come in at $0.410 trillion during the current quarter, according to Freddie's economic outlook for September released today.

The third-quarter estimate is lower than the revised second-quarter level of $.0574 trillion and last month's third-quarter.

Somehow, we suspect, a lot could happen between now and then.
