Insights from the Freddie Mac Multifamily team.
Let's Go Further
Since we launched Optigo℠ earlier this year, the name that once drew many questions has become a natural part of our daily business conversation.

But we still get many questions about why we created the name and what it stands for.

Multifamily 2019 Outlook
In our research, we find that performance in the multifamily market remained healthy during 2018, despite high levels of new supply entering the market. We expect this trend to continue into 2019, but with more modest growth in comparison to recent years.

Meg McElgunn: Taking the Reins Out West
I know it sounds cliché, but there really is no place like home – especially one where you make home possible for others. That's what Freddie Mac is to me.
