Walker & Dunlop Updates Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Loan Origination Outlook for Q3'15
BETHESDA, Md., Sept. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Walker & Dunlop, Inc. (NYSE: WD) (the "Company") announced today an update to the Company's loan origination outlook for the third quarter 2015. On its second quarter earnings call, the Company provided its expectation for Fannie Mae loan originations in the range of $600 to $800 million and Freddie Mac loan originations in the range of $1.0 to $1.2 billion. Since the second quarter earnings call, the Company's GSE loan volumes increased significantly, and it now expects third quarter 2015 Fannie Mae loan origination volumes to be between $1.1 and $1.3 billion and Freddie Mac loan origination volumes to come in at the high end of the $1.0 to $1.2 billion range.
"After an extremely active refinancing and acquisitions market in the first half of the year, we saw a slowdown in GSE loan originations at the beginning of the third quarter," stated Walker & Dunlop's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Willy Walker. "Since then, we have seen an increase in our Fannie Mae volumes, which will positively impact this quarter's originations."
