The Federal Housing Finance Agency recently raised the caps of multifamily purchases by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, by $4 billion. The cap was increased from $31 billion to $35 billion. With the GSEs already having a huge market share in multifamily finance, 78.3 percent according to recent figures by affiliated publication Inside MBS & ABS, the FHFA said an increase in the caps is warranted due to the larger-than-expected market this year. Recent projections by the mortgage giants show that they are issuing multifamily mortgage-backed securities in 2016 at a rate that may exceed $100 billion by the end of the year.
