Fannie Mae: Rising Multifamily Vacancies And Inventories Suggest Home Valuation Peak

  • Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac continue fluctuating with election odds and face immense volatility risk over the coming week.
  • FNMA has been down since June, as Harris's ascent has lowered Trump's odds. Its Q3 results were slightly disappointing and indicated some risk in multifamily.
  • Although the election matters over the short term, I think FNMA's 2030 value is more dependent on the economic trend and whether or not the housing market has a "soft landing."
  • Home valuation and multifamily cap rates are unsustainably high today but were previously supported by low vacancy rates and single-family inventories.
  • With vacancies and inventories rising, I expect housing valuations will decline in 2025-2027. Given high mortgage coverage ratios, FNMA should be safe if they do not fall too quickly.
