Walker & Dunlop reported Q2 2025 earnings, with quarterly total transaction volume of $14.0 billion, up 65% YoY, driving 18% revenue growth and a 48% rise in diluted earnings per share. “Walker & Dunlop’s second quarter results demonstrate terrific performance by our team in what appears to be the advent of the next commercial real estate investment cycle. We are gaining market share with our largest capital partners while broadening our Capital Markets capabilities into hospitality, data centers, and Europe. This strong performance underscores the momentum we are seeing across the capital markets as investors begin to recycle equity, refinance assets, and deploy a significant amount of capital that sat on the sidelines during the Great Tightening," said Willy Walker.

Financing the future of housing! Walker & Dunlop facilitated the $14M Freddie Mac loan for Matheson Capital’s acquisition of Chateau Apartments, a 168-unit multifamily community in Carrboro, NC. This deal was a true team effort - bringing together our Affordable Housing and Capital Markets experts to support Matheson’s strategy of enrolling the property in North Carolina’s affordable housing tax abatement program and enhancing common-area amenities. "The financing of Chateau Apartments is a strong example of the collaboration that defines the Walker & Dunlop platform. By leveraging the expertise of our Affordable team and pursuing a Freddie Mac TAH execution, we were able to deliver a tailored financing solution aligned with our longtime client’s business plan." - Austin Sneed, associate director, Capital Markets Congratulations Walker Layne, Matthew Wallach, Stephen W., Kevin Conners, Austin Sneed, and P.J.

The metro Detroit rent growth stays 'slow and steady' as landlords elsewhere face tough times. Investors who have typically stuck to larger markets are now turning their attention to the Midwest, according to Matt Jones, managing director, Investment Sales. “It’s slow and steady,” Jones said of markets like metro Detroit. “But slow and steady is better than backwards. So through that lens, it looks a lot better than it did when the Sun Belt was getting 15%-to-20% rent growth.” Learn more about the Detroit rent growth: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/ezH64xGN #RentGrowth #WalkerDunlop #Detroit #CRE #RealEstate #InvestmentSales
