The top multifamily players at the Federal National Mortgage Association have been ranked by the secondary lender, which reduced its overall issuance of multifamily securities last year.
The Washington, D.C.-based company recently reported that it issued $28.5 billion in multifamily mortgage-backed securities during 2013.
That wasn’t quite as much as the $33.1 billion in multifamily MBS issuance Fannie Mae previously reported for 2012. The decline reflected the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s goal of reducing multifamily volume by 10 percent from 2012 levels.
Last year’s business was generated through 24 Delegated Underwriting and Servicing lenders.
The biggest among them was Walker &Â Dunlop LLC, according to an announcement released Monday. Walker &Â Dunlop was Freddie Mac’s No. 3 multifamily lender based on another report issued Monday.
Wells Fargo Multifamily Capital finished 2013 as Fannie’s second-biggest multifamily lender. Wells was Fannie’s biggest affordable multifamily housing lender last year.
Fannie’s No. 3 was CBRE Multifamily Capital Inc., which topped Freddie’s ranking.
Next on Fannie’s list was Beech Street Capital LLC.
Fannie’s fifth-biggest multifamily seller was Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC, which came in at No. 2 on Freddie’s list.
The biggest senior housing lender last year at Fannie was KeyBank, N.A., which was Freddie’s No. 4 overall multifamily lender.
