Secondary Market For Multifamily Financing Continues To Develop.


Financing for apartment property acquisitions and development has been relatively freely available during the past several years. A healthy apartment market in a strong economy has provided the basis for greater access to acquisition and development financing. Multifamily mortgage debt outstanding totaled $411.1 billion at the end of least year. The levels increased at a 7.5 percent compounded annual growth rate since 1994 the point at which the apartment market bottomed out from its long, deep recession. Total multifamily mortgage debt last year rose even faster with a 10 percent increase. Data used for this article comes from the Federal Reserve Board's Flow of Funds Flow of funds

Distribution of the holders of multifamily mortgage debt has been changing during this period of growth. Commercial banks are now the leading holder of multifamily mortgages and continue to increase their market share. The fastest growing sectors are those related to the secondary market and securitization Securitization

Commercial banks held a 19 percent share ($77.7 billion) of total multifamily mortgage debt at the end of last year. Their share was 13 percent in 1991 and 11 percent in 1985. Commercial banks are also still the largest source of construction financing of all types, including multifamily projects. Currently, there is no source of construction financing data.

An increased lending activity was one of the contributors to the move of commercial banks into the leading individual category of holders of multifamily mortgage debt. A sharp decline in savings institutions' share of the multifamily mortgage market is also a factor. Savings institutions held 44 percent of multifamily mortgages in 1985. Last year their share dropped to 15 percent. Savings institutions were still the third largest holder of multifamily mortgage debt last year. They held a total of $61.3 billion versus a total of $79.9 billion in 1991, when their share was 28 percent. Savings institutions reduced their holdings of multifamily mortgages largely in response to the problems they encountered with bad loans in the 1980s and a stricter regulatory reg·u·late

Government-sponsored enterprises involved in multifamily mortgages include Fannie Mae Fannie Mae: see Federal National Mortgage Association.  and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, commonly known as Freddie Mac, privately owned, government-sponsored organization that uses private capital to buy home mortgages as a means to help lower housing costs.  (Freddie Mac Freddie Mac: see Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. ).

One example is mortgages that are purchased with funds obtained by selling investors general debt securities; they are not backed by mortgages. Federally related mortgage pools rose to the second position in holders of multifamily mortgages. The holdings of multifamily mortgage in these pools totaled $66 billion last year. They have grown substantially from a $22.4 billion level in 1994.

The mortgage pool data includes those mortgages that are used as collateral collateral (kəlăt`ərəl), something of value given or pledged as security for payment of a loan. Collateral consists usually of financial instruments, such as stocks, bonds, and negotiable paper, rather than physical goods, although  for federally related agency-issued collaterized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and privately issued CMOs. CMOs are made up of pools of mortgages that are used as collateral for some other debt security. The cash flows off of the collateral are used to pay off the obligations of the new debt security. The agent that issues the collateralized debt makes money by selling the new debt at a price higher than the purchase price of the collateral. The reason that the new security has a higher price is that the cash flows off of that security can be tailored to the needs of the purchaser of the new debt security. There are many forms of CMOs. Multifamily CMOs data, shown in Asset Backed Securities, totaled $48.7 billion last year. This was a 1,422 percent rise from the $3.2 billion level that existed in 1991.

Development of secondary markets for multifamily mortgages help to make the apartment financing market more liquid and encourages greater investment. Multifamily mortgage financing will continue to see even more development of its secondary markets.

Activity in one other sector of the multifamily mortgage debt market is worth noting. Life insurance companies last year held $33.5 billion of multifamily mortgages. Their share of the market at 8 percent is down from the 10 percent share that was maintained for a relatively long period of time.

REITs became a major factor in apartment financing in the second half of the 1990s. Capturing their impact on the apartment market in the Flow of Funds data requires looking at their mortgage debt on the liabilities side of the ledger The principal book of accounts of a business enterprise in which all the daily transactions are entered under appropriate headings to reflect the debits and credits of each account. .
