Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac manage only about 40% of the mortgage market in the United States. Now, that's big enough to have a significant effect on the entire rest of the market but they do not control the entire mortgage market.

Parent is probably referring to the secondary mortgage market (mortgage-backed securities), of which F&F now control more like 90%.
