Fannie Mae Financing of Multifamily Affordable Housing Segment Increases 31 Percent Year Over Year
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fannie Mae (OTCQB: FNMA) today announced it provided approximately $74 billion in financing to support the U.S. multifamily housing market in 2025, a year-over-year increase of 34 percent compared with $55 billion in 2024 and the company's largest annual multifamily volume since 2020. Through its network of Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS®) lender partners, Fannie Mae served the needs of borrowers, investors, and renters while enabling the creation and preservation of workforce and affordable housing supply in communities throughout the country.
Fannie Mae provided significant liquidity to key housing segments in 2025, including more than $8.3 billion in Multifamily Affordable Housing (up 31 percent from 2024), $7.1 billion in Structured Transactions (up 8.6 percent), $5.9 billion in Small Loans (up 26 percent), and $1.9 billion in Manufactured Housing (up 49.4 percent). Approximately 40 percent of all deals in 2025 were executed under Fannie Mae's unique delegated underwriting model, which enables lenders to compete effectively and close deals quickly even in shifting market conditions.
"Fannie Mae's multifamily financing was exceptional in 2025, providing roughly $74 billion in loan production volume for the year and crossing $500 billion in our book of business, thanks to the continued partnership of our Delegated Underwriting and Servicing lender partners. Together, we unlocked tremendous new opportunities for multifamily borrowers and investors that will create and preserve thousands of housing units across the country," said Kelly Follain, Executive Vice President and Head of Multifamily, Fannie Mae. "We're grateful to all our partners and, with $88 billion in capital allocation this year, we look forward to accomplishing even more in 2026."
Fannie Mae is focused on providing responsible products and solutions that benefit partners and help address housing affordability and supply challenges. For instance, the company has:
- enhanced its Multifamily Structured Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (SARM) product to meet growing demand for flexible variable-rate executions with fixed-rate equivalent financing;
- expanded its Near-Stabilization execution, enabling borrowers to secure permanent, non-recourse mortgage financing before reaching full occupancy in newly constructed or recently renovated multifamily properties; and
- committed more than $5 billion in Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity investments since re-entering the LIHTC market in 2018, enabling the creation and preservation of more than 100,000 affordable rental housing units.
